As a low socioeconomic community, with an ICSEA score of 947 and a high FOEI of 119 , with varying numbers and abilities in yearly cohorts and with a high transient rate of 20%, the school staff have worked very hard over many years to achieve pleasing NAPLAN results. Again in 2016, excellent Year 3 NAPLAN results show IPS are continuing upon our previous year's successes.  In 2016 SMART Data indicates that the growth rate of our Year 5 students is greater than or equal to expected growth in reading and numeracy. Pleasingly, 50% of Aboriginal students at IPS were in the two top bands for Year 5 Reading. We look forward to continued growth in NAPLAN 2017 and will be introducing into our school plan, the Premier’s mandatory NAPLAN statements. Similarly, the majority of Kindergarten students are also showing significant achievements on the PLAN Assessment Tool.
