Industrial Action Reporting Feedback

As you may be aware, the Australian Education Union (AEU) and it's members have taken Industrial Action earlier this term.

This industrial action involved a ban on written comments in reports.

This means that some Learning Tasks for Term 2, may not have written comments. However, all Learning Tasks will contain achievement data.

All Learning Tasks from Term 1, prior to the industrial action, will contain written comments.

If you have any queries, please reach out.
