Our reporting process is based on the principle of stewardship. This emphasises a shared responsibility for the growth and development of the child. Reporting is aimed at informing parents of children's progress, attitudes, behaviour and at discussing the needs of the child and a co-operative means of addressing these needs. 

 

Reporting incorporates:

​

• On-going description of classroom activities in newsletters. 

• Oral reporting takes place throughout the year. This reporting enables parents and teachers to meet at a mutually convenient time to discuss various aspects of the child's development. 

• Written reports distributed at the end of each semester. 

 

At St Peter’s, teachers aim to develop and implement a balanced assessment program across learning areas.  
A balanced assessment program: 

• promotes, assists and improves teaching and learning 

• helps children achieve the highest standards 

• provides parents/carers with meaningful information on students’ achievements        

 

A balanced assessment program provides opportunities for teachers to collect evidence of students’ learning that is demonstrated through an assessment processes that is based on: 

• Assessment for learning — enabling teachers to analyse and interpret information about students’ progress to inform their teaching 

• Assessment as learning — enabling students to reflect on and monitor their own progress to inform their future learning goals 

• Assessment of learning — assisting teachers to use evidence of students’ learning to assess achievement against goals and standards.
