Student Achievement Reports - Semester 1, 2025

Individual student reports will be available on the Compass Parent Portal on Friday 27th June at 3.30pm.

In 2025, our Rangeview Student Reports will look different to previous years. This is to compliment the implementation of the new Victorian Curriculum 2.0 in Mathematics and English, as well as our new school values.Schools are required to report student achievement and progress to parents and carers twice a year. Rangeview Primary School’s schedule of reports being released mid-year and at the end of the year, has not changed.

What will the report look like?

Many components of the student report will remain familiar, including the:

• Teacher Comment

• Effort and Behaviour Scale

• School Attendance

• Student Achievement Progression Point Scales

• EAL Pathways (for students who have an EAL Report in English)

• Values Scale

• Semester Activities

• Future Learning

• Specialist Subject Semester Learning, Work Habits and Achievement

With our new report format, you will now see:

• Our new school Values of Respect, Resilience and Kindness

• A section dedicated to student English achievement, including a description of semester learning and student progress indicated against descriptors based on the Victorian Curriculum English 2.0 Achievement Standards (Please note that EAL reports may not have these descriptors).

• A section dedicated to student Mathematics achievement, including a description of semester learning and student progress indicated against descriptors based on the Victorian Curriculum Mathematics 2.0 Achievement Standards.

Changes to Mathematics Reporting

With the VCAA release of the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, from 2025, schools are required to report one overarching teacher judgement (Progression Point).

In previous years students would receive a teacher judgement against the three mathematical strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability. This year in Mathematics, your child will only receive one teacher judgement against the Achievement Standard as a whole, providing a single aggregated score.

As the curriculum Achievement Standards reported on have changed, the first time you receive a report under the Mathematics 2.0 curriculum, it will only show achievement and not progress. For all reports after this, progress will be shown against the single achievement standard.

We hope that our new reporting format will be clearer and provide a comprehensive understanding of achievement. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your child’s report at our Student Led Conferences in the week commencing 30th June 2025.

Individual Student Reports in English

At Rangeview Primary School, students will receive either an individual student report in:

- English against the Achievement Standards of the Victorian Curriculum F-10 2.0, or

- English as an Additional Language (EAL) against the Victorian Curriculum F-10 EAL

Achievement Standards.

English Reports – Victorian Curriculum 2.0

In 2025, the VCAA introduced the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 F-10 English into all government schools.

Through the study of English, students extend their engagement with the English language and learn to understand, empathise, communicate and build relationships with others and the world around them. The study of subject English helps create confident communicators, imaginative and critical thinkers, and informed citizens.

At Rangeview, some students will receive a report in English against the Achievement Standards at each level via the Language Modes of Speaking and Listening, Reading and Viewing and Writing. These Language Modes are interconnected with the Strands of Language, Literature and Literacy.

For further information about Victorian Curriculum F-10 2.0 English, please go to the Victorian Curriculum website VCAA Victorian Curriculum F-10 2.0 English .

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Reports

Australia is a linguistically and culturally diverse country and for many students, English is not the language spoken at home. The English as an Additional Language (EAL) curriculum is provided to allow students to build their capacity to communicate confidently and effectively and to draw on their knowledge of language/s spoken at home, as a way to enhance their developing understanding of the English language.

At Rangeview, some students will receive an EAL report in English. The EAL report follows the EAL curriculum pathways in Speaking and Listening, Reading and Viewing and Writing, reporting against the levels of the Victorian Curriculum F–10 EAL Achievement Standards.

An EAL student will follow curriculum Pathways that will be shown in the report.

- Pathway A (Level F-2)

- Pathway B (Level 3-8)

- Pathway C (Year 7-10)

Pathway A contains two levels: A1 and A2

Pathway B contains four levels: BL, B1, B2 and B3

Pathway C contains five levels: CL, C1, C2, C3 and C4

To understand what the EAL Report Means:

- If your Child is in Pathway A click on the link to see the skills at that level

- If your Child is in Pathway B click on the link to see the skills at that level

The length of time during which a student will be assessed against the EAL achievement standards depends on many factors, such as the:

- existing English language proficiency of the student

- number of years of schooling completed

- level of literacy in their first language

Students can be transferred to the Victorian Curriculum F–10 2.0 English for assessment and reporting purposes once they have reached the end of their respective A, B or C Pathway, and achieved the standard in all 3 language modes of Speaking and Listening, Reading and Viewing and Writing.

For further information about English as an Additional Language (EAL) please go to the Victorian Curriculum website VCAA Victorian Curriculum EAL .

If you have any questions about your child’s report, please speak to the classroom teacher.

We encourage you to report incidents of racism to the school. The Report Racism hotline is also available 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) on 1800 722 476

Level 4 Scienceworks Excursion

On Thursday 5th June, 4M and 4J went on an excursion to Scienceworks in Spotswood.

Students took part in three fantastic workshops on the day.

Roller Coaster Engineer - With the support of their informative presenter, the students observed the physics of energy, force and inertia as they designed, tested and modified their roller coasters.

Cool Stuff - This Very Cool liquid nitrogen show included demonstrations to illustrate the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Changes of state, expansion and contraction were all demonstrated using lots of fog, froth and fun.

Tilt - In this Planetarium show, the students explored how the four seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun and how the seasons and length of day vary across the Earth, from the poles to the equator.

Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers and staff that made this special day possible.
