Wheatlands State School has been named as one of Queensland’s strongest improvers in this year’s NAPLAN tests.

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said today Wheatlands was one of the Darling Downs-South West’s most improved schools in the national literacy and numeracy tests from 2012 to 2013.

“NAPLAN improvements are always a team effort and I congratulate the families, teachers, principals, feeder schools and school communities on being part of this wonderful achievement,” Mr Langbroek said.

“The literacy and numeracy of young Queenslanders is currently growing at a faster rate than the national average, and all schools have an important role to play in sustaining this level of improvement.

“Our aspiration is for Queensland to be among the top performing states in NAPLAN by the year 2020 and each year our improvements are taking us closer to achieving this goal.”

NAPLAN results for every school in Queensland were published today on the Queensland Studies Authority.
