Student Reports
We have developed a continuous reporting model to provide information about your child’s curriculum achievements throughout the school year. Assessed work samples in Maths and English are provided each term, with an additional sample per term from any of the other Learning Areas. Assessment portfolios are sent home at the end of each term.
At the end of each half year, a profile of your child’s achievements in all Learning Areas is also included. The Learning Areas reported on are :
- Health and Physical Education
- Interpersonal Development
- Personal Learning
- Civics and Citizenship
- The Arts
- English (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening)
- Humanities
- Mathematics
- Science
- Design, Creativity and Technology
- Information Communications
- Thinking
- Social skills, as well as attitudes to work and others, are assessed in a checklist format.
The assessed work samples demonstrate your child’s level of performance across a range of curriculum activities. A description of the learning activity is included to outline the purpose of the work being assessed. The range of student work samples selected portray a realistic picture of your child’s progress, and do not consist only of best pieces of work. Students may select up to two additional pieces per term for inclusion in their portfolio.
It is important to share your child's report with them and to discuss their progress with the class teacher.
At any time, if any facet of your child’s education is causing concern, please make an appointment to see your child’s class teacher. Conversely, if the class teacher has a concern, the teacher will arrange a mutually agreeable time to discuss the matter.
If you wish to speak with the teacher, please contact the school to arrange a meeting. It is best if this is done outside teaching time so that class programs are not disrupted and the teacher can speak freely with you.
