SNAP / ELLA Results 2007

Year 7 and Year 8 performed strongly in the recent state-wide literacy and numeracy assessments (SNAP and ELLA). These tests are an important mechanism for the school to identify student strengths and weaknesses and help us focus the support we need to provide to students
The exams are held at the beginning of the year.

• Year 7 results do not indicate the improvement the school has achieved but rather the ability level of each student entering Year 7.
• Year 8 results highlight the level of improvement the school has achieved for each student throughout Year 7.
