Assessment 

This page outlines our obligations relating to assessment of student achievement and progress from Foundation to Level 6 , including English as an Additional Language (EAL) students.

Assessment is an ongoing process of gathering, analysing and interpreting evidence of student achievement and progress, and reflecting on findings. At Ardeer South we use student assessment results to evaluate the impact of the teaching programs on student learning, and then adapt our practices to better meet the needs of all students.

Quality ongoing assessment forms a foundation upon which teaching can be targeted to student learning needs, therefore maximising the potential for optimal growth in learning.

Reporting to Parents

Schools are required to formally report student achievement and progress to parents/carers at least twice per school year for each student enrolled at the school. The report must be:

• a written report (print or digital)
• in an accessible form, and
• easy for parents/carers to understand.

Both student achievement and progress must be included in the report. This includes providing a teacher judgement against the achievement standards, assigned as a score, that accurately reflects where each student is along the relevant learning continuum for all curriculum areas taught during the reporting period.
