2025 Reporting Information
In response to feedback from Parents & Carers, Staff & Students, via department surveys and focus groups/discussions with school council, Parents Association, staff and student forums, we determined that the needs of each stakeholder were:
Parents/Carers: Requested improved consistency with grading elements and timing of reports being reports being published. As well as additional opportunities to receive feedback directly from teachers.
Students: Accessibility of information, easy to read and understand. The introduction of a reflection process to ensure further discussion regarding teacher feedback and student agency around their learning.
Staff: Streamlined processes for imputing reporting and better communication and timelines to ensure reporting has a greater impact on student outcomes and learning behaviours.
