Literacy and Numeracy Update

Next week, our Year 7 and 9 students will be sitting the 2018 NAPLAN tests. If your daughter is keen to practise her literacy or numeracy skills with some quick online activities, we have set up ReadingWriting and Numeracy Canvas pages for her to access a whole range of tips, tricks and online tools. A great place to start is with a quick Free Rice vocabulary quiz or a Quizlet to practise her number skills. Whether she has five minutes or fifty to spare, there will be plenty for her to do if she explores the Literacy and Numeracy pages.

Year 10 students might like to visit our Minimum Standards sections, which contain quick links to the sample tests for Reading, Writing and Numeracy.

All feedback is welcome and if you have any suggestions for different tools or websites you would like to see included in our Literacy or Numeracy Courses, please email cmcgillicuddy@saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au (Literacy) or mparker@saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au (Numeracy)
