Assessment and Reporting
At our school, assessment and reporting are important elements of education and are designed to support every student’s learning and growth.
Through a range of assessment strategies, teachers gather information about student understanding, track progress, and identify areas for improvement. This helps ensure feedback is meaningful and learning is purposeful.
We value strong communication with families and provide regular updates so parents and carers can stay informed and involved in their child’s progress.
Assessment
At our school, students are supported to understand what is expected of them in each subject and how their work will be assessed.
Students complete a variety of assessment tasks throughout the year, from in-class activities to formal exams, helping teachers track learning and achievement.
Our students also take part in statewide assessments, including:
- National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN): Assesses reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and numeracy for students in Years 7 and 9. Tests are held in May each year by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), with results released in August.
- Record of School Achievement (RoSA): Awarded to eligible students who leave school before completing their Higher School Certificate. The RoSA records grades earned from Year 10 onwards.
- Higher School Certificate (HSC): An internationally recognised qualification awarded to students who successfully complete the Higher School Certificate in Year 12 in NSW.
Assessment Schedules and Handbooks
Reporting
Our teachers continually observe student learning and assess their progress throughout the year.
Formal reports are sent home twice a year and provide a clear summary of your child’s achievement, effort and growth.
- In Years 7 to 10, reports use the common grade scale to show achievement against course outcomes.
- In Years 11 and 12, teachers use the NESA achievement standards to determine A to E grades.
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are assessed based on competency achievement.
Reports also include comments that highlight strengths and suggest next steps for improvement.
