Year 11 Semester 1 Reports and Parent/Teacher Interviews

By the end of this week, Semester 1 Reports for students of Year 11 will be available to parents online via the Sentral Parent Portal.

 

The purpose of the reports is to provide parents with mid-Preliminary HSC course feedback on the academic progress of their sons and how they have settled into the routine of senior study.

 

It is worth noting a few key features of the reports, including:

  • Completed Co-curricular participation thus far.
     
  • Attendance up to and including Friday 7 May, including attendance at key College events.
     
  • The Homeroom Teacher’s Pastoral Profile which describes the student’s general school and homeroom practices associated with grooming and uniform, co-operation, manner, punctuality, and responsibility. These profile elements are described as Always, Usually, Occasionally or Rarely.
     
  • The student’s academic achievement in each course over the first semester which include marks, ranks and Overall Achievement grade.
     
  • The Class Teacher’s report on the student’s level of achievement in key Learning Areas of the course associated with the knowledge and understanding of content and the application of acquired skills.
     
  • The Class Teacher’s report on the student’s Learning Practices associated with the student’s application, commitment, conduct, enthusiasm, and responsibility associated with his classwork and study. These Learning Practices are described as Always, Usually, Occasionally or Rarely.

The upcoming Parent/Teacher interviews on Tuesday 25 May are an opportunity for parents/carers to meet their son’s teachers and to discuss aspects of the Semester 1 Report with respect to their son’s progress and adjustment to study routines, including strategies and recommendations for improvement for Semester 2.

 

As I mentioned in the Wednesday 5 May issue of the Especean, online bookings for interviews will close at 12:00 noon Thursday 20 May and parents/carers are to book interview time slots themselves. The College will not be allocating interview times. If parents/carers have not received their login web code via email (sent on Friday 7 May) or have any problems logging in, please contact the Administration Coordinator, Mrs Rebecca Colak on 8705 9209.
