Assessment and Reporting
Dear Parents and Carers,
Semester 1 Reports will be sent home next Friday 24th June 2022.
The purpose of the report is to formally report student achievement and progress to parents/carers, and to report directly against the Victorian Curriculum F-10 Achievement Standards.
Achievement in the Victorian Curriculum domains is marked using an A-E scale as required by the Commonwealth Government.
A student who has achieved the ‘C’ rating indicates that he or she has met the state wide standards.
Rating | Achievement descriptor | Fully worded descriptor |
C | At Standard | At the standard expected at this time of the year |
A | Well Above Standard | Well above the standard expected at this time of the year |
B | Above Standard | Above the standard expected at this time of the year |
D | Below Standard | Below the standard expected at this time of the year |
E | Well below Standard | Well below the standard expected at this time of the year |
Our ‘Target Skills’ are a checklist of skills that are of focus in your child’s learning throughout the semester. These skills are taken directly from the Achievement Standards and assist classroom teachers in the marking of your child’s achievement against the Victorian Curriculum.
When assessing Target Skills, the following scale of achievement is used:
Not Yet Evident | Beginning | Developing | Achieved | Embedded in Learning |
No evidence of the skill | Beginning to show the skill with/without support | Displays elements of the skill independently | Displays the skill consistently and independently | Applies the skill to other areas of learning |
The report also includes written overviews of what has been taught in the various Curriculum Areas, including Specialist Areas, as well as a general comment on your child’s social and emotional skills.
We hope to seek parent input and feedback regarding our Assessment & Reporting processes at COHR, including Reports and Portfolios. A short survey will be sent out to parents/carers via FlexiSchools over the holidays.
Should you have any other feedback you would like to give now, please do not hesitate to email Jill Palermo on jpalermo@cohroakeast.catholic.edu.au.
Parent Teacher Interviews will be held in Week 3 of Term 3 and are a formal opportunity to discuss your child’s progress. (Booking information will be made available next term.) However, at any time, should you want to discuss your child’s progress, please feel free to make a mutually convenient time to speak to your child’s classroom teacher.
