REPORTING AND ASSESSMENTThe best kind of reporting is face to face discussions between the teacher and parent. Our school encourages this kind of reporting whenever possible. A progress report will be issued to parents during Term 1 and a comprehensive report issued at the end of Term 2 and Term 4. Parent interviews are given with the Mid Year report. Profile folders containing samples of work will be sent home with each student at the end of Terms 1, 2 & 4.
