Assessment and Reporting Semester 1, 2021

Dear Parents/ Carers,

At Dayboro State School teachers report to parents about:

• the student’s achievement against expected standards;
• how well the student is engaging with the expected learning; and
• how the student may be able to improve.

Reporting to parents occurs four times each school year across two platforms:

• • • • Report Cards at end of Semester 1 and 2
      • Parent Teacher Interviews in Term 1 and Term 3

Dayboro State School’s reporting processes reflect the requirements outlined in the Department of Education’s P-12 Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework and associated policies.

Semester report cards are emailed home to parents in Week 10 of Terms 2 and Term 4 and made available online via QParents. A 5-point scale is used and varies depending on year level as shown below.

An explanation of the reporting scales is provided on the front page of student reports for parents.

It is important to recognise that the Australian Curriculum achievement standards clearly outline the expectations of a ‘C’, ‘Sound’ or ‘Working With’ standard. If your child receives a ‘C’ (or equivalent), they are operating at the year level standard/expectation. A ‘C’ means that the student is achieving everything required for the subject at that stage in their corresponding year level at school. Therefore, attaining a ‘C for their Achievement means that they are on target for their age and year level.

If you would like any more information about reporting, please contact me or your child’s teacher.

Regards, Linda Smith
