This is a busy time of term for assessment for our students. In order to support students, we would like to draw your attention to the parent responsibilities as outlined in our Learning Policy. It is important that school and home work in partnership to provide the best opportunities for success, for our students.

Parent Assessment Responsibilities:

• At the commencement of each term, become familiar with the Assessment and Learning Calendar. This includes accessing this calendar via Student SharePoint and syncing to a personal native calendar and/or accessing a copy from the week 2 school newsletter.
• In consultation with your child, identify when summative assessment submission due dates or examination periods fall, and plan for this as a family.
• Discuss the Assessment Task Sheet with your child to clarify understanding, set goals and assist with developing home support.
• Monitor your child’s progress towards the completion of both draft and final assessment by regularly checking feedback on student work in Seesaw.
• Please monitor emails for teacher communication in the event your child has not sumbitted a draft.
• Follow the requirements outlined for Year 7 - 10 Special Provision requests and Year 11 - 12 AARA requests for both summative assessments and examinations.

As explained in the previous newsletter, our process of continuous reporting involves teachers providing students with feedback on work completed in class and for assessment, as well as results, across the term. Please ensure that you are accessing this information and discussing your child's progress with him/her, not only when assessment is due but during the entire term.

Please see the upcoming assessment dates for next week.
