Semester 2 student reports

Hello Families,

The end of year is fast approaching, and student reports will be published on XUNO this week (Wednesday 18th December).

Our student reports start with a cover page and following this, academic results that demonstrate achievement against the Victorian Curriculum are displayed as well as classroom teachers assessing students against our six work habits using a five point scale.

Each student will receive a personalised general comment from their classroom teacher with a generic description of the English and Mathematics content covered in class this semester. Specialist teachers have provided individualised student comments at this time, along with your child’s classroom teachers’ general comment. Specialist subjects include work habits for student effort and class behaviour.

If your child has been involved in any other additional programs throughout the school this semester, a general comment has been provided on their progress and participation at the end of the report. These report comments include intervention, tutoring and extension with Mr Reynolds and SAKGP for our Grade 3/4s.

We look forward to celebrating the final week of Term 4 with the students and we wish all families a happy and safe holidays, a very Merry Christmas and we'll see you all back in the classroom in the new year.

Have a great week and as always, happy learning!

Mr Baker
