In 2006 the Federal Government introduced new requirements that ensure schools provide parents/caregivers with:
- The Queensland Studies Authority reports on Year 3 and 5 literacy and numeracy testing
- An opportunity to meet with the child’s teacher/s at least twice a year
- A written report, twice per year, against achievement levels with clearly identified standards and a five-point scale, A – E (or equivalent)
- The opportunity to access information on a child’s achievement relative to the child’s peer group.
All Saints’ has reviewed their reporting processes and practices to ensure that they:
- Use plain language that is easily understood
- Provide a written report twice each year (paper or electronic)
- Provide opportunities for parents and teachers to meet twice per year
- Give an accurate assessment of the child’s progress and achievements
- Offer to provide additional information regarding how the group of students in the same year level or subject is performing against state standards.
