Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess each student's work. This includes observing their work in class and looking closely at the work they produce throughout the year. Twice a year teachers also assess each primary school student's achievements based on the outcomes described in the NSW primary principles of assessment for learning. A written report using the grade scale is sent home usually near the end of Term 2 and Term 4, to give you a clear picture of your child's achievements. Students have a number of assessments in primary school:
Optional assessments: Parent - teacher meetingsYou will be given a formal opportunity to discuss your child's progress at a parent-teacher meeting. However, if you have any concerns, don't wait for a parent-teacher meeting. Please make an appointment to discuss these concerns as they arise with the relevant teacher. If you need an interpreter, ask us to call the interpreter service on 13 14 50. This service is free. |
