GOAL

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.
