Semester Two Reports

Staff are currently in the process of writing the checklists of skills that will be assessed and reported on for the Semester Two Reports.  A reminder that there is a School Closure Day on Monday 5th November for Report Writing.

The Semester Two Report will have the following features and content:

General Comment

A General Comment that is a personalised paragraph about the student, written by their classroom teacher.  The General Comment explains the students achievements for the semester based on the Victorian Curriculum as well as their ability to work individually or in teams, make and maintain friendships and respond to situations with resilience.

Victorian Curriculum Progress Page

The Victorian Curriculum 'dots' page shows the students achievement against the Victorian Curriculum.  This section will indicate where the student sits in relation to the Victorian Curriculum, in all subject areas taught. The table will indicate if their achievement is at standard, below standard or above standard for their level of schooling. The table will also indicate growth since the last school report. 

Learning Areas

Each Learning Area (Religious Education, English, Mathematics, STEAM, Italian, Digital Technology, Visual Art, Performing Arts, Physical Education) will begin with an Overview explaining the learning experiences that students were involved in for that particular subject. 

After the Overview, The Victorian Curriculum 'dots' will appear, indicating the level of student's achievement against the Victorian Curriculum that was taught within the learning area.

Next, there will be an Achievement Standards Table that will break up the learning area into achievement standards. The table will indicate the achievement standards that the students have been assessed on for the semester. Students will be marked against each achievement standards on a five point scale. The scale will indicate the degree to which the students have grasped the achievement standard.  The aim of the table will to be to give parents more information about the level of achievement within learning areas. Please note that if a student has been absent for a long period of time an achievement standard may indicate N/A. This is because the student was not present for the teaching, learning or assessment of this particular achievement standard.

Finally, there will be a table that will indicate the effort and behaviour of the student within the learning area. This table will appear for each learning area.

What will be different?

You will notice on each Achievement Standards Table, the five point scale has changed to the following in order to keep the marking consistent with the Victorian Curriculum 'dot' progression.

-Well above standard

-Above standard

-At standard

-Below standard

-Well below standard
