Learning & Teaching

Learning Journals 

Staff at St Kilian’s hope you have enjoyed viewing your child’s work in their Learning Journal. It’s now time to return these to school, so that Term 4 work can begin to go in them. ALL Learning Journals are to be returned to your child’s classroom teacher by the end of this week please. 

ACER Assessments 

Each year students participate in the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) assessments in English and Mathematics. Grades 3-6 complete these twice a year, whilst Foundation to Grade 2 students complete them once a year. 

The ACER assessments are designed to provide valuable insights into your child's learning progress and help us tailor our teaching to better meet their learning needs.  

All Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd students undertake these assessments. 

It is important to note that the assessments are not a pass or fail test; rather, it serves as a tool for continuous improvement and helps us make data-informed decisions to enhance the overall educational experience for your child. 

There is no special preparation required for the ACER assessment. 

 If you have any questions about the assessments, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.
