COMMON ASSESSMENT TASKS –

What are these?

Students have been completing Common Assessment Tasks (CATS) in each of their classes. Teachers have been consistently working together to plan, create, differentiate and moderate these tasks with an aim to not only improve student learning but to increase feedback to students on their learning. Please engage in conversation with your child about these tasks and log into the Xuno Parent Portal to read feedback from your child’s teachers.
