As I am sure you are aware, there are many illnesses going around at the moment with varying degrees of the severity of symptoms. I would like to ask you all to be vigilant with testing your children, even if they have the slightest sniffle. Regardless of the type of illness, we ask you to please keep your children home if they are unwell.

If you require some additional RATs please contact Belinda and these can be sent home.

Semester 1 Reporting

On Monday 27 June, your child will receive their Semester 1 Report and Work Samples Folder. Both items share learning and progress completed in both Term 1 and Term 2.

For Kindergarten students:

• Achievement in each subject will be reported using a four-point scale (Above Expectations, Meeting Expectations, Working Towards Expectations and Experiencing Difficulty).

For Year 1 to Year 6 students:

• Academic grades for each subject using a five-point scale from A-E will be reported using the NSW Common Grade Scale.
• Strand Achievement will be reported in English, Mathematics, Human Society and its Environment, PDHPE and Creative Arts using a five-point scale (Excellent, Thorough, Sound, Basic, Elementary).

For all students:

• Engagement with Learning statements, which are taken directly from the Australian Curriculum, will provide specific information about your child’s Critical and Creative Thinking, and Personal and Social Responsibility, using a three-point scale (Needs Improvement, Developing, Consistently)
• General Comment that may include information about your child's work habits, social skills, behaviour, contribution to class, achievement and goals.

Conversations are an important part of the reporting progress. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment with your child's teacher if you have any concerns.
