Student registrations for Years 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12 in 2026 are due on Thursday, 12 February 2026.
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests will be conducted from Wednesday, 11 March to Monday, 23 March 2026. To ensure there are no delays in processing student data for NAPLAN, Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) or Brightpath, please note the following important dates for the upload of Student Registration and Demographic (SRGDG) files to the Student Information Records System (SIRS) in 2026.
Thursday, 12 February 2026
- 2026 registration and demographic information for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 (required for NAPLAN) (via SRGDG file)
- 2026 registration and demographic information for Years 11 and 12 students (required for OLNA) student lists and password generation (via SRGDG file)
- 2026 registration information for all teachers where students attend schools using Brightpath (via THREG file).
Note: after Thursday, 12 February 2026, it may not be possible for school data to be transferred to the NAPLAN platform in bulk, and schools may need to enter students into the NAPLAN platform manually.
Monday, 23 February 2026
- OLNA student login details (Years 11 and 12 students) will be available to schools/providers.
Note: students not registered in SIRS and participating in OLNA may have a delay in receiving their user login and password details.
Thursday, 26 March 2026
- Registration and demographic information for all remaining students in Kindergarten, Pre‑primary and Years 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 to be uploaded by this date (via SRGDG file).
Note: the Authority does not issue numbers for Pre-Kindergarten students.
The SRGDG should be updated and uploaded regularly throughout the year. At a minimum, it is recommended that schools upload their student registration file at the beginning of each term. This will ensure any new students to the school are recorded in SIRS, as well as update the status of any students who have left the school.
Details of how to register students via the SRGDG file may be found in Section 4 of the Data Procedures Manual available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.
For all schools that have students participating in the Brightpath Program, refer to Section 5 of the Data Procedures Manual available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual for assistance with uploading the Teacher Registration File (THREG).
Information on requesting a Western Australian student number (WASN) is available in the Data Procedures Manual available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.
