This week, there were various media reports across the Northern Teritory about the release of the latest NAPLAN results. These results are an effective way to see how schools are progressing in helping students to develop and improve core numeracy and literacy skills.
We are extremely pleased that these latest NAPLAN results rank Haileybury Rendall School as the top Primary School in the Northern Territory for the second year running.
We have also been ranked in the top three Middle Schools in the NT. Importantly, we are proud that our Years 7 and 9 NAPLAN results include all our remote and very remote students who continue to perform way above the relevant national NAPLAN averages.
Reports have previously indicated that almost a third of Year 9 students in the Northern Territory are below national standards for reading and writing. This makes the achievements of our students in this latest round of NAPLAN testing even more remarkable.
Our guiding principle is that “every student matters every day” and these latest results help illustrate that. Every student at HRS is guided to build the core learning skills that are a foundation and platform for their ongoing and future success.
Congratulations to our students. They are a credit to their families and to our school. Congratulations and thank you also to our hard-working and talented educators and all staff who support our students.
Finally, thank you to every Haileybury Rendall School parent for your continued commitment and contribution to our school and to entrusting us to help your child receive the very best education possible.
