As a child’s learning is enhanced through the co-operative partnership between parents, teachers and students, you will receive regular information on the progress of your child.

QUALITY ASSESSMENT PRACTICES include:

• regular ongoing assessment experiences
• a variety of assessment experiences
• students knowing what is expected of them to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding
• collaborative planning and consistent judgments by teachers.

QUALITY REPORTING PRACTICES include:

• be presented in plain language
• provide information on what each child is able to do in each key learning area and identify some areas where they may need help
• include a comparison of each child’s achievement against state-wide syllabus standards using common grade scale A to E
• include a teacher’s comment about each child’s specific achievements and provide information about your child’s social development and commitment to learning
• the availability, upon request, of a distribution table that will illustrate each child’s achievement in comparison with the rest of their year group.
