Primary curriculum
Students in Years 3 and 5 sit the Basic Skills Test (BST), which consists of a literacy and numeracy component.   This test gives parents an indication of their child's learning stage, allows teachers and parents to identify any areas in which the child may benefit from help, and ensures that the requirements set by the syllabus are being met at school level.

Secondary curriculum
Students in Year 7 sit  the English Language and Literacy Assessment (ELLA) which assists schools to monitor their Year 7 students' achievements in literacy. They also sit the Secondary Numeracy Assessment Programs (SNAP) test which monitors their numeracy achievements.

In 2008 students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will participate in national testing in literacy and numeracy. Assessments will focus on spelling, grammar, punctuation, writing reading and numeracy.
