From the Assistant Principal Week 6

Assessment & Reporting

Over the past couple of weeks, our Staff have been assessing the students, focussing on teaching and learning and providing differentiated learning based on individual educational needs.

A complete assessment process usually includes setting student learning outcomes, designing aligned assessment activities/methods, collecting and analysing data, generating results, and “closing the loop” making plans and designing programs for the next step. Teachers are able to provide structured and explicit direct instruction and learning opportunities to support the learning for all students. A big thank you to all of the SCA Staff who have worked hard to gather the information and we are confident that we will continue to have those “Ta dah” moments throughout the year.

In Week 8, on Wednesday 22 March, families will receive their child’s Progress Report detailing their academic progress so far in Religious Education, English and Mathematics for Semester 1 including an effort mark. In addition, there is a section that provides information about the learning behaviours of your child. Parents will find the report informative, and we encourage you to discuss the contents with your child.

Formal reporting to parents takes place several times per year.  This includes a Progress Report in Term 1 and Semester Reports in Terms 2 and 4.  

Informal reporting between a parent and teacher should be regular and occur at all stages of the student’s learning. The relaying of pertinent information which supports each student’s learning is vital. This open communication, whether in writing or by interview has proven a paramount factor in the creation of a positive learning environment for St Clare of Assisi students.

In Week 9, we invite all Parents to a Parent Teacher Interview. These will run from Monday 27th – Wednesday 29th March. The interviews times will open for bookings via COMPASS on Friday 17th March. These are an opportunity for you to discuss the report and set some goals.
