At St Ambrose’s, a strong culture of learning supports students to grow in confidence, curiosity and achievement. One of the clearest signs of this growth is the school’s consistently high performance in NAPLAN.
St Ambrose’s NAPLAN results reflect steady gains across literacy and numeracy. These results are the outcome of intentional, research-based teaching practices and a whole-school focus on building strong foundations in reading, writing, spelling and mathematics.
The school’s ‘Learning Landmarks’ framework supports this work, offering a clear and consistent approach from Prep to Year 6. Programs like Sounds-Write, combined with evidence-informed literacy strategies and structured spelling instruction, ensure every student is supported to make progress—no matter their starting point.
In 2024, St Ambrose’s broadened its approach to also include programs for high-potential learners, helping students stretch their thinking and achieve deeper levels of understanding. All students benefit from regular tracking and monitoring of progress, which allows for early intervention and personalised support.
NAPLAN is just one measure of success but it gives families valuable insight into how students are growing in key areas. St Ambrose’s is proud of its results, which consistently place the school among the top-performing Catholic schools in the region.
