Assessment and reporting

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning. These include observing work in class and looking closely at tasks throughout the year.

Twice a year, teachers formally assess a student’s achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of each subject. A written report using the common grade scale is sent home in the first half of the year, usually near the end of Term 2, and again in Term 4. This gives a clear picture of your child’s learning.

Assessments

We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.

Student Reports

Student reports are provided at the end of Term 2 (Semester 1) and Term 4 (Semester 2). These report assess a student's performance over the semester in specified outcomes in each key learning area (KLA).

Reports are based on a student's development within a stage:

  • Early Stage 1 - Kindergarten
  • Stage 1 - Years 1 and 2        
  • Stage 2 - Years 3 and 4
  • Stage 3 - Years 5 and 6
