Student Reports

I am writing to you to provide an update on changes to Semester 2 student reports at Kyneton Primary School.

At Kyneton Primary School we know it is vital to involve students and their parents/carers in learning. This includes providing a written report to parents/carers on student progress and achievement at least twice a year.

The Department of Education and Training has recently adjusted the expectations around student reporting for Semester 2 in recognition of the disruption caused by COVID-19.

Kyneton Primary School will therefore provide a modified written report for the parent/carer of each student enrolled at the school for Semester 2, 2021 focusing on what progress has been made and what has been achieved by each child. Reports will be published on Compass at 4:00 pm on Friday, December 10.

Reports will include:

• a description of the areas of the Victorian Curriculum Foundation to Level 10, including Towards Foundation Levels A to D, taught;

for English and Mathematics:

. student achievement information represented on a continuum of learning;

. progress made since the last time these curriculum areas were reported on;

. a five-point scale.

for all other curriculum areas taught:

. student achievement information represented on a continuum of learning, progress made since the last time the curriculum areas were reported on, and a five-point scale.

Parents/carers are welcome to contact their child’s classroom teacher in the last week of school by phone or email to arrange a time to discuss your child’s report.

Thank you for your continued support during the transition between remote and flexible learning and onsite learning.
