Principal: 'The letter is a positive affirmation of students as learners - something teachers do every day'

Parent Paul Lawrie was impressed: 'I thought it was something nice to send home in their bags for the kids to read'

Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students all face the standardised exams across the country this week

It's the touching school letter that charmed parents and kids worried about an upcoming set of national exams.

Thousands of schoolkids across Australia will face NAPLAN (National Assessment Program) tests for reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy this week.

Aware of the stress the exams can cause, a savvy group of teachers at St Paul's Primary School in Gracemere, central Queensland, wrote a reassuring message to their Year 3 students.

The letter said that while examiners might know how well a child wrote on a particular day, they don't know the attributes that makes the kids exceptional, unique and 'amazingly special'.

'This test does not assess all of what makes each of you exceptional and unique,' the letter signed by Mrs Egan, Mrs Schluter and Miss Bailey said.

'The people that score these tests don't know that some of you love to sing, are good at drawing or can teach others how to use a computer program.

'They do not know that your friends count on you to be there for them when they are sad.

'They do not know that you participate in sports, help your mum and dad or that play with your little brother, sister or cousins.

'They do not know that you are caring, thoughtful and that everyday you do your best.'

The handwritten note continued: 'The scores you get from this test will tell you how you did on that day, but they will not tell you everything.

'They can't tell you that you have improved on something that you once found difficult.

'They can't tell you that you brighten up your teacher's day. They can't tell you how amazingly special you are.'

Rockhampton resident Paul Lawrie found the note in his son William's backpack on Friday. He told Daily Mail Australia: 'I thought it was really great.

'I've got an older daughter who's been through NAPLAN a few times... this was for my son who's about to do it for the first time.

Wrote a letter: St Paul's Primary School, in Queensland, reassured students with a touching letter

'It's pretty stressful for the kids and a little bit of stress for the parents.

'I thought it was something nice to send home in their bags for the kids to read.

'Obviously, we all agree testing's important - but it's not to know that there's more to life than (testing). .

School principal Patricia Adair told Daily Mail Australia the letter was intended to alleviate any worries the students had about completing the tests.

'Teachers wanted to communicate... that NAPLAN is only one part of the assessment process and that their achievements as learners in all areas of their lives are many and varied.

'The letter is a positive affirmation of students as learners - something teachers do every day,' she said.
