Assessment
Ongoing monitoring of student learning occurs throughout the year in the form of summative, diagnostic and formative assessment conducted by teachers. Teachers provide ongoing feedback to students to assist them to reflect on their progress.
Students will be assessed against the year level achievement standard using a variety of methods, including written, spoken, and investigations among others. Monitoring strategies are used to identify how students are progressing and to identify the next steps for their learning. The Year Level Newsletters for each term will identify what the learning focus is and how the students will be assessed on this learning.
Reporting to parents
Regular, effective communication is encouraged between caregivers and teachers.
Parent information evenings are held early in Term 1 and are a great way to find out about your child's class, their teacher, routines and expectations.
Formal reporting occurs four times each year in the form of two face-to-face meetings and two written reports, as follows:
- Parent-teacher interviews (during Term 1)
- Written school reports (end Term 2)
- Parent-teacher interviews (during Term 3)
- Written school reports (end Term 4)
Teachers are also available during term by making an appointment through the school office.
Term 1 and 3 parent-teacher interviews are able to be booked through the Booked site. A link is available on the school's homepage.
The front page of your
child’s report will have a detailed description of what the levels of
achievement indicate. For further information please see your child’s classroom
teacher.
