Year 11 and 12 Cycle 1 Progress Reports
Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Students’ Cycle 1 Progress Reports will be published on Monday 6th March and will be available to view via Compass School Manager. These reports have been created to help students maintain steady progress and identify any areas of their studies that need improving. Families will be able to discuss these reports at the Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences on the 15th and 22nd March with the teachers. Below is a guide to help the Swinburne Community better understand the descriptors in the Cycle 1Progress Reports.
To satisfy the requirements of a Unit 1 or Unit 3 subject, the student must demonstrate engagement with their course of study and the knowledge and skills outlined for each outcome
| SACs/SATs | Attendance | Coursework | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Satisfactory | The student has completed their SAC/SAT on time to a satisfactory level.
| Above 85%. | The student has completed all the required coursework by the due date. |
| Some Concern | The SAC/SAT has been completed but there are some issues with the task that need to be addressed. | Below 85%. The student has planned to redeem their absences or has completed significant redemption. | The student has submitted the course work, but may have done so after the due date or to a minimum standard. The student has handed in most of the coursework, but not all of it.
|
| At Risk | The SAC/SAT may not have been completed by the due date, but the student has made arrangements to redeem with the teacher.
| Below 85%. The student has not planned or completed any redemption. | The student has only partially completed some of their course work. |
| Not Satisfactory | The student has not completed the SAC/SAT by the due date and is yet to arrange a time to redeem with the teacher. | Attendance is well below 85%. | The student has completed very little to no coursework for the subject. |
The following descriptors indicate the students’ approach to their learning in each of their subjects.
