Assessment is a continuous activity in every subject in every class. Teachers and students accumulate lots of information about the student’s progress. Twice each year (end of Term 2 and end of Term 4, with the exception of Year 12 where it is Term 1 and Term 3) parents are provided with a formal, written report on their child’s progress over the preceding semester. These reports should be retained in a safe place by parents. For students in Prep to Year 6, the report is complemented by parental access to their child’s Seesaw account containing samples of work which illustrate the extent of a student’s mastery of the intended outcomes.
In the Junior School, Parent Teacher Interviews occur twice a year and are an opportunity to discuss student learning and progress. Mid Course and Final reports in the Senior School (Years 7-11) with the respective teachers at the end of Term 2 or beginning of Term 3 and the end of Term 4. Year 12 Parent Teacher Interviews occur in Term 4 of the preceding year, Term 1 and Term 2. Parents who fail to attend the mandatory interviews and who do not make alternative arrangements to meet with teachers may be asked to meet in College time with the appropriate Co-ordinators and the Academic Dean of Students. The College considers this reporting to be an important part of its contractual relationship with parents.
