The purpose of the annual WALNA program is to provide:
-
parents and caregivers with information about the performance
of their children in relation to nationally agreed benchmarks
in numeracy, reading, spelling and writing, and in relation
to that of other Year 3, 5 or 7 students across Western Australia.
-
teachers with information, not only on the performance
of individual students, but also on that of class groups, and
on the level of their students' literacy and numeracy development
in relation to the performance of other Year 3, 5 or 7 students.
This information can be used in conjunction with their own class
records in future teaching and learning programs.
-
schools with a report showing summary information of
their overall school performance. This data is useful additional
information in the schools' identification of students' needs.
Through the Data Club, schools are also provided with assistance
in interpreting their results for school improvement and accountability
purposes.
