School Roadmap Back to School
The NSW Premier has revealed the state’s return to school roadmap, which outlines when students will be able to safely return to school for face-to-face learning in a COVID-safe way.
The most important details of the roadmap are:
- All schools in NSW will follow the same roadmap.
- The return to face-to-face learning will be staggered, with different years returning at different times from 25 October 2021 (see timeline below). The start of the staggered return to face-to-face learning depends upon at least 70% of the state’s eligible adult population being fully vaccinated.
- If stay-at-home orders are lifted in an LGA or region before 25 October 2021, all students living or learning in that area will return to face-to-face learning at that time with a level of COVID-safe restrictions in place.

NAPLAN assesses aspects of literacy, including reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation, writing, and numeracy.
NAPLAN tests are designed to provide you, your child and their teachers with information about how your child’s learning is progressing and if they need support to improve their literacy and numeracy skills.
NAPLAN results provide information to teachers and parents on what students know and can do. NAPLAN is a point in time diagnostic test. Teachers are best placed to provide insight into students’ educational progress.
The students NAPLAN results were mailed to all parents on Tuesday 14 September.
