The Catholic Schools Office is now undergoing a review of the reporting process to ensure that parents are well informed about their child’s progress, although the formal report will remain as twice per year. The current process is as follows: Parents will receive reports on their child’s progress as measured against the performance standards twice per year, towards the end of Term 2 and Term 4. Teachers are available to discuss reports if you have any questions. The school report will contain information on your child’s achievement in each of the strands for each Key Learning Area using a 5 - point scale:

A Outstanding Achievement: The student has extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In addition the student has achieved a very high level of competence and the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations.

B High Achievement: The student has thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations. In addition the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.
