Junior School – Term Three Parent Teacher Interviews

This record will include the feedback from the Parent Teacher Interviews and the Learning and Emotional/Social Goals (Astra Goals) set by teachers for your child.
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 receive notifications via Astra. At the end of the year, all Parents will receive an online Academic Report - “Statement of Results”.
