This progress sees South Australia hold steady or advance in every area when compared to other states. <\/p>\n<p>Blair Boyer, the Minister for Education, Training and Skills, shared, \u201cSouth Australia is leading education reform by being innovative and following evidence-based learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are starting to see the results of our early investments in curriculum and mental health and wellbeing support \u2013 and highlights why the recent Gonski agreement was so critical \u2013 so we can invest more in the supports and programs that are making a real difference to academic achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cWhen I became Minister, I was worried about how well younger students were picking up core maths skills, which is why we got to work updating the curriculum, bringing in numeracy checks for all year 1 students and introduced a yearly numeracy summit. So, it\u2019s really encouraging to now see more students landing in the top two bands for numeracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese test results are just one measure of school and student success, but it is reassuring to see that the work our schools and teachers are putting in is paying off, and that parents have access to some information about how their child is tracking at school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the overall improvement in performance, the writing domain saw a reduction in students reaching the top proficiency levels, a trend not just seen in SA, but observed nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Flagstaff Hill Primary School Principal Donella Munro shared, \u201cWhile the\u00a0NAPLAN\u00a0results are just one tool we use to track how our students are going, I believe our school\u2019s positive outcomes, particularly reflecting each student\u2019s learning journey over the last two years, shows we\u2019re on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parents and carers have access to individual reports issued for students who participated in this year\u2019s assessments, which they can use in discussions with teachers to better understand where their child is at. <\/p>\n<p>The impressive results for South Australia in this year\u2019s NAPLAN are a promising indicator of positive outcomes from both government-led and local school initiatives focused on curricular improvements and targeted educational approaches.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share Tweet Share Share Email In a leap forward for South Australia\u2019s educational achievements, recent NAPLAN results have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,28946,44],"class_list":{"0":"post-30963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-australia","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-naplan","11":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
