Students have various opportunities to meet the required minimum literacy and numeracy standards. Students may pre-qualify by achieving Band 8 results in the Year 9 National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). To demonstrate literacy standards, this score must be achieved in the reading and writing components of NAPLAN, and for numeracy, this must be met in the numeracy component. If students do not reach the required minimum standard, they have a potential six attempts before completing Year 12 (two per year each in Years 10, 11 and 12) to pass the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) to meet the requirements. The OLNA is available in both literacy and numeracy, and students who have pre-qualified in one learning area only need to sit the OLNA for the learning area in which they have not pre-qualified. Students may also sit the OLNA after finishing school at any age to attain the minimum literacy and numeracy standard for the WACE.
