Individual student reports
The QCAA prints individual student reports (ISRs) for students who participate in NAPLAN tests. These reports are sent directly to schools for distribution.
Proficiency standards
From 2023, the ISRs will report student results using proficiency standards. Further information on proficiency standards, including the proficiency level descriptions, are available on the National Assessment Program website.

Preparing for the release of school reports
The QCAA will inform schools of the release of the Student and school summary report (SSSR) via a QCAA memo.
Schools may wish to check the following in preparation for the release of reports:

- If there has been a change of school leader, check they can access the Reporting files tab in the fileShare application to access and download writing responses and ISRs. Refer to QCAA Portal for NAPLAN webpage for instructions.

Principals will be able to access their School and student summary report (SSSR) via the Online National Assessment Platform.
- QCAA Factsheet 32: School and student summary report (PDF, 346.5 KB) explains how to download and view the SSSR.
- The How to interpret the SSSR information sheet (PDF, 5.3 MB) on the National Assessment Platform (NAP) website provides detailed information about interpreting the SSSR and view online responses.

Accessing replacement reports and additional copies
Current year
Once student reports have been sent to schools, all schools will be able to download an additional copy of a student report for the remainder of the school year, if a parent/carer other than the primary carer requests a copy. To do this:
- log into QCAA Portal
- select the fileShare application tile
- select Reporting files from the menu area
- select View to download the required files.
State schools can download student reports for the current year through OneSchool.

- First name
- Last name
- Date of birth
- Year level at time of test
- Year of test(s)
- Ensure the principal's name, position, school and contact details are included.
