My School 2015 website release

Minister for Education and Training, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP has welcomed the My School 2015 website release, which includes outcomes from the 2014 round of NAPLAN testing and provides parents and the community with even more information on Australian schools.

“My School 2015 is a valuable resource to help families review more than 9,500 Australian schools, including the latest profiles, financial and population data on each school,” Mr Pyne said.

“Importantly, this year’s website release now includes seven years of data for parents that can be compared with other schools to ensure they have the most up-to-date information available to make informed decisions about their children’s education.”

The website has been given a refreshed look and feel for 2015, with even more improvements planned for the future.

“Late last year we included new data on school attendance as part of our approach to ensure a stronger focus on keeping kids in schools,” Mr Pyne said.

“And over the coming year we plan to work with the states and territories on ideas to make the website even easier to use and understand and provide more information about students’ progress and educational outcomes”.

At the election, the Government promised a review of the My School website and this will be released in the near future with further improvements being considered.

The My School website is jointly owned by the Australian Government and states and territories, and is managed by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
