Deputy Principal Teaching and Learning Report

Semester One reports

As our Year 9 to 11 students enter into their examination period and the final weeks of Term 2 are upon us, Semester One summary reports of student progress and achievement are being compiled by staff. The Semester One summary reports will be available via PAM to parents/guardians during the first week of Term 3. Parents already have access to feedback on your child’s progress through the continuous reporting accessible via the Learning Areas section of PAM that details each student’s achievement on every assessment task (within two weeks of completion). In conjunction with the continuous reporting feedback, the summary reports provide an ideal source of parent-student conversation on student achievement and areas for improvement, particularly in subjects where achievement is below the average. VCE and VCE VM Student Progress Meetings will be held on Tuesday 21 July. The release of the Semester Reports provides an excellent starting point for identifying areas of strength to pursue in future years, ahead of the 2026 Subject Selection period that launches early in Term 3 with the Careers Expo & Subject Selection evening on 30 July.
