With only three more weeks of this term to go we are almost at the end of semester 1 and preparing for our mid year reports. Students have been working hard to be the best learners that they can be and teachers and support staff have been collecting and collating information to ensure a thorough and informative student achievement report is provided for the family.

The reports include:

Clear information on what the student has achieved – this section of the report focuses on your child’s progress on the basis of assessment evidence gathered by the teacher over a semester

Suggestions for areas of improvement the student should work on next – this section of the report focuses on future learning to be addressed in the following reporting period.

Information on how the school will help the student to improve – this section of the report makes recommendations for actions to be taken by the school to help your child’s future learning.

Suggestions on how parents can help the student to improve – this section of the report suggests specific ways in which you can support your child, taking account of the areas for improvement or future learning.

There are five rating marks on the report card:

A= Well above the standard expected at this time of the year

B= Above the standard expected at this time of the year.

C= At the standard expected at this time of the year.

D= Below the standard expected at this time of the year.

E= Well below the standard expected at this time of the year.

If your child receives a C, it is a good result and they are achieving their year level standard. If they receive an A, this means they are working at a much higher year level range for that subject.

Reports will be going home in the last week of term and parent-teacher interviews will be at the beginning of term 3.
