Clear and timely reporting of your child’s achievements and progress at school is very important.
You will be kept up to date of your child’s progress during the year through a number of ways:
- Parent-Teacher interviews, held towards the end of Term 1 and Term 3
- Formal reports, which are completed at the end of Term 2 and Term 4
On-Entry Assessments for Pre-primary
It is manditory for all Pre-primary students to participate in on-entry assessments. These assessments are conducted during Weeks 3-6 of Term 1.
The main purpose of the On-Entry Assessment program is to provide teachers with information about the skills and understandings that the child has. This helps the teacher with their planning and development of the learning programs to ensure that the needs of the individual child is met, and also to identify children who may require early intervention.

NAPLAN
Students in Years 3 and 5 participate in the National Assessment Program, Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). This nationwide assessment provides valuable information about student progress in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions and Numeracy. NAPLAN data supports our whole-school planning, informs teaching practice and complements the ongoing classroom assessment that occurs throughout the year.
