 Reporting Policy

  1. Scope of Responsibility
    • College community (staff, students, parents.)
    • College Council

Preamble

Assessment and reporting are integral in planned approaches to teaching and learning. Effective assessment and reporting programs monitor the achievement of students in terms of their participation and learning within a program and their achievement against the Victorian Curriculum.

 

An effective reporting program will use a variety of approaches to communicate information on student achievement to a range of audiences.

Schools are responsible for reporting students’ achievement against standards outlined in the Victorian Curriculum, the Victorian Certificate of Education/Vocational Major/ Victorian Pathways Certificate to parents/carers, other teachers, and the DET.

Purpose

 

Reporting is designed to:

  • Provide students and parents with timely and consistent information regarding student skill acquisition and learning growth.
  • Provide information on:
    • student progress and achievement in class
    • achievements in relation to the Victorian Curriculum
    • achievement in relation to VCE/VCE-VM & VPC
    • student participation and work habits

Implementation

Macleod College adopts a number of different methods (both formal and informal) to report on student performance (see Assessment for Learning Handbook). These include:

 

1. Progress Reports

  • Progress Reports are completed on six weekly cycles within a semester for Years F-12. These focus on work habits that are aligned with the College Values.

2. End of Semester Summary Reports 

  • Provides a summary of achievement for each of the Assessment Tasks/SACs/SATs/Outcomes, Victorian Curriculum levels and capabilities, along with teacher judgement of learning behaviours.

3. Parent, Student, and Teacher Conferences (PST Conferences)

  • PST Conferences are held twice a year and can be face-to-face or online
  • Students are required to attend with a parent/guardian
  • Appointments to be made by parents/carers via the Parent Compass Portal
