MID SEMESTER PROGRESS REPORTS
Mid Semester Progress Reports will be available to students and parents after 9:00am on Friday 18 September. These reports provide students and parents with an insight into their work practices so far this term, their attendance, and an indication as to their academic progress to this point of the semester.
PARENT/STUDENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parents and students will have the opportunity to discuss these reports at the Parent/Student/Teacher conferences on Tuesday 13 October between 4:00pm and 7:00pm. These conferences will again be held both face to face and virtually. Bookings will open as soon as reports are released and will close on Monday 13 October at 3:30pm.
ASSESSMENT EXPECTATIONS – TERM 3
September is a good time for parents and students to access the Parent Access Module and/or their Learning Areas platform to review their academic performance to this point of the semester.
The general expectation is that students and parents will have at least one assessment task available for review and to reflect on for each subject that has been completed this term before having between three and five assessments available by the end of the semester. This might not sound like very much, but by the time our typical Year 7 and 8 student completes eight subjects, this can amount to over 30 pieces of formal assessment for an 18-week semester.
Please take the time to review your child’s progress with them and set some goals for the end of Term 4.
ICAS TESTING – TERM 3
During Weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this term, over 50 students completed a range of tests in the fields of Digital Technology, Writing, English, Mathematics and Science. These tests are conducted by an independent organisation and are developed to challenge students at a higher level than they may otherwise experience in a typical classroom environment. We have started to receive results for the early tests and it has been pleasing to see a number of students receive Distinctions (top 10%) and Credits for their efforts in these tests.
Congratulations to following recipients of Distinctions and Credits in the ICAS tests
