 Student Learning Performance 2025

Introduction 

There are four areas of a student's capability that we aspire all Chisholm graduates to demonstrate: Organisation and management for learning in the classroom, Personal learning behaviours, Attitude to learning & Social and Learning relationships. The Student Learning Performance (SLP) reports on these 4 performance areas. During Term 1 and Term 3 the SLP is provided as an interim report to allow for students and parents to gain insight into how application to learning is developing. In Term 2 and Term 4 the SLP will appear on the formal reports as the students' learning performance. The SLP will report on the whole term and every available lesson timetabled for the student. Ultimately, it is imperative that we encourage all students to engage fully in their learning by attending school everyday.

At Caroline Chisholm we believe that every student is entitled to an excellent education where our community of learners support one another to develop in ALL dimensions: spiritual, academic, social, physical, emotional and creative areas. Enabling student success and the ability to achieve aspirations and continuously grow as a learner critical to future success.

All teachers will observe learning and report these areas. The 4 key areas of the Student Learning Performance (SLP) are outlined below. Students will be given a mark out of 5 for each area and the total in each subject will be their SLP mark out of 20. This kind of scale requires professional teacher judgement and can also be a tool for student self assessment.

Any student who achieves a total of 17 or above across all their subjects will receive an Outstanding Student Learning Performance Award for the term.

Any student who achieves a total average of 8 points or below will be expected to engage in a learning conversation with their teacher and parent/guardian to discuss strategies and support needed for improvement.
