Semester 2 Reports

At this present moment, staff at HEPS are busy assessing students and writing Semester 2 reports. These reports provide a great overview of students’ progress based on the completion of several assessments and classroom observations over the course of Semester 2.

We report in line with the Victorian Curriculum. Students are placed on a learning continuum in each curriculum area, based on the data that teachers collect throughout the semester. When you open your child’s report, you will notice some yellow highlighted areas and black dots. The yellow highlighted area indicates the range which students of that year level are expected to be working in. The dots indicate the progression point that your child has demonstrated in that curriculum area.   

It is important to note that the jump from one progression point to another can involve a huge amount of learning! Please know that if a progression point has not moved, it does not indicate no growth. It just means that the growth that has been made has not been quite enough to meet the next progression point. 

At HEPS we value individual growth (one of our school values) and celebrate students’ individual achievements. We understand that students all progress at different paces and that learning does not always follow a consistent trajectory – it can plateau and peak at different times. While the progression points on the front of a report do not always show the individual growth that has been made, the comments certainly will! 

Parents can access the reports via Compass on Monday 18th December. We encourage you to save a digital version of your child's report to access at a later date; this is especially important for our Level 6 students as they transition to high school.  School reports for grade 6 students will no longer be available for download after 20th December as they have been exited from our enrolment system.

GYM Update

We have now completed the GYM renovation. WOW, what a transformation! The painting of the foyer area is completed and we have recently laid new carpet. We have installed four new air conditioners in the GYM and foyer area and cleaned and polished the floorboards.
