Changes to the Report Format
Last year, we moved to a new report format in line with School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) reporting requirements. Previously, teachers had entered grades and efforts for all learning areas, and a comment had been provided for Religious Education, English and Mathematics. Instead of comments for these learning areas, you will now see the Achievement Standard for the whole year for English and Mathematics. The Achievement Standard indicates the expected standard for a C grade. The grade given on the report will indicate your child’s achievement against this standard. For English and Mathematics, a grade for individual components (Reading and Viewing, Writing and Speaking and Listening/ Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability) as well as an overall grade and effort will be provided. For all other learning areas, an overall grade and an effort will be provided.
The final page of the report will still include personal and social learning and a general comment for each child.
Another change that you may notice this year is the naming of the reports. Instead of Semester 1 and Semester 2, reports will now be named Mid Year and End of Year reports. Mid Year reports provide grades to indicate the “…level of achievement that the student is demonstrating relative to the achievement standard, taking into account the curriculum that has been taught and assessed to that point in time.” (SCSA, Government of Western Australia, 2019). The End of Year Report then provides grades to indicate the level of achievement against these Achievement Standards for the full year.
Parents can access further information regarding what has been taught, by referring to the termly overview letters sent out each term. These letters provide more specific details about the content that has been taught and assessed to this point in time to determine the grade. Term 1 and Term 2 overviews can be accessed via the following links:
Start of Term Teacher Letters to Families – An Overview of Learning in Term 1
Start of Term Teacher Letters to Families – An Overview of Learning in Term 2
Further information on teaching, assessment and reporting can be found on the SCSA Parent Page here.
Parent/ Teacher Interviews
After reports have been released, if you would like to meet with a teacher to discuss any aspect of your child’s report, please email them directly and arrange a time that is suitable for you both.
If you have any issues at all with regards to accessing your child’s report, please do not hesitate to contact the school by clicking here.
