Curriculum Updates
Progress reports provide students and their families with an overview of academic progress and effort throughout Term One. These reports are based on classroom observations and a review of students’ learning experiences, including their effort, application, contribution to the learning environment, and work completion. Importantly, they also reflect students' progress in their learning outcomes for each course.
Teachers, in collaboration with Leaders of Learning, make informed judgments about achievement using a standardised understanding of progress. This is determined through the submission of classwork to online platforms, bookwork, formative assessments, and informal measures such as student conversations and classroom observations. Judgments about student application are based on classwork submission, the level of detail and knowledge demonstrated, and the skills applied in tasks completed throughout the term.
While these reports do not include comments or specific feedback, they offer a clear indication of student performance and serve as a tool for reflection and goal-setting. Progress reports will be made available to students and parents/carers on Friday 11 April.
