Programme for International Student Assessment

PISA is the Programme for International Student Assessment. 85 countries participated with about half a million students, of the same age, being assessed. PISA results assist Australian educational authorities to understand the effectiveness of their educational systems and learn from other countries' practices. 

This year McAuley Catholic College was randomly selected. McAuley had twenty students representing Australia last week. The assessment lasted two hours and a follow-up survey was also conducted. These students were absolutely amazing and there were many personal best performances given on the day. 

A mighty thank you to our representatives: Jasmine Chellew, Brayden Grant, Matilda McEntee, Thomas Austin, Layla Bender, Sienna Clifton, Bailey Chivers-Smith, Zahli Cronin, Noah Gallagher, Elizabeth Graham, Regan Howard, Hayden L’Estrelle, Dana Lyndon, Macy Muir, Jett Nikas, Ashton Pullen, Addison Robinson, Amy Shipman, Darby Smidt and Sebastien Toyer. A few Australian-themed treats were enjoyed by these participants after this international event.
