Learning & Teaching

ACER Assessments 

Each year students participate in the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) assessments in English and Mathematics. Grades 3-6 complete these twice a year, whilst Foundation to Grade 2 students complete them once a year. 

The ACER assessments are designed to provide valuable insights into your child's learning progress and help us tailor our teaching to better meet their learning needs.  

All Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd students undertake these assessments. 

It is important to note that the assessments are not a pass or fail test; rather, it serves as a tool for continuous improvement and helps us make data-informed decisions to enhance the overall educational experience for your child. 

There is no special preparation required for the ACER assessment. 

 If you have any questions about the assessments, please contact your child’s classroom teacher. 

World Teachers Day 

Australia will celebrate the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day 

on Friday 25 October 2024.   

Let’s celebrate St Kilian's teachers for their skilled work in educating, inspiring and supporting our young people. 

Hats off to teachers this World Teachers’ Day!  

This is your chance to join Australia in celebrating teachers. 

On Friday 25 October, you can show your appreciation by posting a “hats off” selfie on social media, either on your own or with family or friends. Grab your hat – beret, beanie, bucket, bowler – and remember to tag #WorldTeachersDay2024
