Communicating Student Learning Growth

Based on Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) guidelines, Essendon North Primary School currently communicates student learning and growth to parents over the course of the year, using the following strategies:

• Semester One and Two Progression Point reports for Foundation to Year Six;
• Learning Updates at the end of each unit of inquiry;
• Specialist Learning Updates at the end of each term;
• Semester One Student Learning Conference; and
• Semester Two ‘Exhibition of Learning’.

Learning Overviews

At the beginning of each unit of inquiry, our Year Level Learning Neighbourhood will electronically distribute a unit of inquiry flyer. These flyers provide a snapshot of the learning that will take place throughout that unit of inquiry. Specialist teachers will include information about the learning in specialist areas in a unit of inquiry flyer each term.

Meet the Teacher

At the beginning of the school year, you will have the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and share information, discuss learning goals and expectations and any concerns you may have. At this meeting further information may also be provided about learning and teaching at ENPS and supporting your child’s learning.
