End of Year Reports

For the last few weeks, our teachers have been very busy writing your child’s end of year student report. These will be made available to parents and carers via Compass today (Thursday 18th December).

Please note: COMPASS access will be cut-off on December 19th for those students leaving SKIPPS  at the end of this year.  Please ensure you download or print any School Reports and other information you require from COMPASS before this date.   

As we reach the end of the school year, we ask that you read this report and discuss and celebrate the contents with your child – recognising their hard work and significant progress made during 2025. 

The report includes detailed commentary from your child's class teacher regarding their learning and personal and social development during the second half of this school year. The report also includes their areas for improvement as they move into 2026.

You are also provided with a clear understanding of your child's performance against the 'progression points' of the Victorian Curriculum. These 'dots' and 'dashes' allow you to see their overall achievement against expected standards for their age across the curriculum and also the growth they have made since their last report. This allows you to see whether they are working at, above or below age-expected benchmarks.

To understand your child’s report better we recommend that you read the detailed descriptions of these standards and the content contained in the curriculum at each level, accessible at http://victoriancurriculum.vcaa.vic.edu.au/.  

Class teachers have also provided a grade for your child's 'Work Habits' - the behaviours that we see consistently around their effort, behaviour and organisation in the classroom. 

Also included in the report is your child's attendance for the whole year - indicating the number of times they were late and their overall attendance percentage. Once again this year, overall we have had too many students missing large parts of the school year and this is proven to have a negative impact on learning and, ultimately, educational outcomes.

For those students who had more than a handful of late arrivals or an attendance percentage below 90%, we strongly encourage families to aim for better in 2023. It is so important that your child is at school as often as possible and on time - learning begins at 9am and every day counts. All available research shows that children with good school attendance and punctuality have better long-term outcomes than children with a high level of lateness and absenteeism.
