NEW Reporting Guidelines

This semester there will be a minor change to the reporting and assessment procedures from Years 7 - 10.

 

Every student in every class will receive an overall grade for the whole semester's work. Students will be deemed to have:

  • Completed all that is required in the subject - SATISFACTORY (S)
  • NOT completed all that is required in the subject - NOT SATISFACTORY (N)

It is important to note that the overall grade will be based on EFFORT. The following criteria will apply:

  • Being punctual to class
  • Being prepared with books and equipment
  • Having a positive 'can do' attitude
  • Being persistent, not giving up easily
  • Complete and submit all of the set work
  • Completing assessments
  • Completing and submitting homework

Students are aware that if they receive more than 2 N grades in a semester, we will be conferencing with the student and parents/guardians to establish the reasons and put a plan and support in place to move forward.

 

We have expressed to our students that with improved effort they will improve their achievement - this doesn't only apply to the school environment but in everything they do.

Crazy Hair Day

On Friday 29 July Lilydale High raised almost $600 to help Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Victoria assist those living with CF and working towards a cure.  Great job everyone!

 

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. There is currently no cure.

 

In Australia, one in 2,500 babies are born with CF, that’s one every four days.  CF is the most common life-threatening genetic disorder affecting young Australians today.
