The standard of academics at Kilvington is outstanding. Students are encouraged to problem solve, self-manage, make mistakes and experience discomfort in a very supportive environment. They are taught to own both their failures and achievements,and are provided with appropriate feedback from teachers in a respectful way.

NAPLAN Results for 2024
Annually, the Australian government conducts the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). This program assesses Years 3, 5, 7, and 9 across the country. The NAPLAN maps each student’s outcomes onto a ten-band continuum, and results are reported against national minimum standards, which are Year 3 Band 2, Year 5 Band 4, Year 7 Band 5, and Year 9 Band 6.
The following table reflects Kilvington’s summary report for each of the areas tested for 2024: reading, writing, language conventions—spelling, language conventions—grammar and punctuation, and numeracy.
We certainly appreciate each student’s hard work and effort in delivering their best on the day under these test conditions. The tests provide parents and schools with an understanding of how individual students are performing at the time of the tests. They are just one aspect of a school’s assessment process and by no means replace the ongoing formative and summative feedback and assessment cycle made by teachers within the classroom for student learning growth and progress.
