Reports Department 

Reporting Overview

For information on reports for both the Junior and Senior Schools, refer to the 'Teaching and Learning' tab on the Girton Grammar School website. There is also a Senior School Report Information Booklet and a Junior School Report Information Booklet available on Astra within Parent Services.

 

When reports or results are published on Astra, parents will receive notifications from teachers as well as via email and Astra News from the Reports Department.

Junior School: Semester 2

Semester Report: At the end of Term Four, the Semester Reports for all subjects will be published by teachers on Astra. You will be able to view the full PDF of the report via each student’s 'Academic Reports' icon. Parents and carers will receive an Astra notification when this is published.

 

Effort and Dedication Report: The Effort and Dedication Summary Report for Semester Two will also be published to Astra for parents to view during the Term Four school holidays.

Senior School: Semester 2

Effort and Dedication Reports: Teachers grade students’ classroom Effort and Dedication six times yearly for most subjects.

 

Round 4 will be published on 1 August. Please check your child's Round 4 Effort and Dedication on Astra - this report will show if an interview has been requested by the teacher.

 

Round 5 will be published on 3 September. Round 6 will be published on 17 October for Year 12 students, and on 30 October for all other Senior School students.

Instrumental Reports: Semester 2

Parents and carers of students who have Instrumental Music Lessons will receive a Semester Report. This report will be made available on Astra, and parents will receive a notification when it is published. For any student who ceases lessons for an instrument, a final report will be processed and made available on Astra in that Term.

Senior School: Continuous Reporting on Astra

For most subjects, each time students undertake any specific assessment task, the subject teacher will provide written feedback on the task and the grade achieved on Astra. Feedback on general progress will be provided online each term, including a summary of your child’s effort and dedication to the subject in general. 

 

Parents and carers receive Astra notifications when these updates are made. At the end of the year, all parents will receive an online Academic Report: the 'Statement of Results'.
