Best Start Year 7 Assessments 2020

APHS participates in Best Start Year 7, an online literacy, writing and numeracy assessment available to secondary schools. 

All students in Year 7 are expected to participate in the tests during Term 1 Week 2 (Monday-Thursday).

All tests will take place during normal class time, however, we do request students bring their own headphones or earbuds that plug into a computer to enable them to hear audio during the tests. The type of connection needed is a jack or usb. We will have headphones we can provide to those students who do not bring their own.

Best Start Year 7 assesses key literacy, writing and numeracy skills and is designed to assist teachers to identify students who may require additional support in developing their literacy, writing and numeracy skills. It is just one of a range of assessments the school uses to assess student skills. Please inform the school if your child has special needs which require support to complete an online assessment.

Please contact Ms Lisa Hoole, relieving Head Teacher Teaching & Learning and Year 7 Advisor at APHS if you have further questions regarding Best Start Year 7.
