Best Start Year 7 is an online literacy and numeracy assessment that assesses key literacy and numeracy skills. It is designed to assist teachers to identify students who may require additional support in developing their literacy and numeracy skills. The assessment is undertaken within the first five weeks of the school year.

The purpose of the Best Start Year 7 assessment is to provide feedback to teachers to help identify student needs. Feedback will be provided to teachers who may choose to share this with students, parents and carers during teacher interview processes.

Best Start Year 7 is just one of a range of assessments the school uses to assess students.

Please inform the school if your child has special needs requiring support to complete an online assessment. Enquiries may be directed to Mrs McGillicuddy (Literacy) or Mrs Parker (Numeracy).
