Assessment and reporting

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning. These include observing work in class and looking closely at tasks throughout the year.

Informed teachers and parents

Twice a year, teachers formally assess a student’s achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of each subject. A written report using the common grade scale is sent home in the first half of the year, usually near the end of Term 2, and again in Term 4. This gives a clear picture of your child’s learning.

In addition, teachers have an informal meeting with parents in Term 1 either in person, via email or over the phone. The school holds formal parent-teacher interviews in Term 3. 

Teachers at Brookvale have an open door policy and are always happy to book meeting to discuss student growth and achievement throughout the year. 

Students are regularly assesed against syllabus standards in all key learning areas. Data is used by teachers to differentiate instruction in each subject. 

Teachers use a variety of class and grade assessments to ensure they understand how to support each student.

Assessments

We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.
