Coming Up - Assessment
Northcote High School
Feedback on-line
As highlighted in previous newsletters, students and parents will receive feedback on student assessment performance throughout each term. This will occur as tasks are completed rather than waiting until the end of semester reports.
Teachers have been working very hard to provide students with assessment feedback online through our myNorthcoteHigh portal.
For students in Year 7 to 10, major assessment items are known as Common Assessment Tasks (CATs) and students receive feedback on the skills and knowledge they have shown in the CAT via a rubric, which outlines the level of achievement across the task, along with a comment highlighting areas for improvement and future focus. This feedback is all available in the myNorthcoteHigh portal.
VCE students and parents will be able to see marks and feedback (highlighting areas for improvement and future focus) for each School Assessed Coursework task (SACs) or School Assessed Tasks (SATs, usually portfolios in the arts subjects) as they are completed throughout the year.
The end of Semester Report will be a summary of each subject and will not contain comments for each of the CATs, SACs or SATs, so it is important you regularly log in to myNorthcoteHigh to review and discuss your child’s achievements an next level of focus on a regular basis.
