National Standardised Testing & the Manaiakalani Dosage Effect

Our within year progress and position as described by National Standardised Testing, PAT Reading Comp, PAT Maths and e-asTTle Writing show substantive improvement on 2015 in both Reading and Maths with the improvement not being so marked in Writing this year, Overall when considering our history of improvement, these are good results for both progress and position.
