Dear Parent/Carers,

This letter provides important information about your child’s end of year report.

The Australian Curriculum

In 2022, your child has undertaken learning in the Australian Curriculum learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science. Humanities and Social Sciences, Health & Physical Education, The Arts and Technologies.

Your child’s report

For English, Mathematics, Humanities and Social Sciences and Science your child’s teacher has assessed their progress against the learning area’s Australian Curriculum achievement standard for the year level.

From 2022, a 9-point scale and worded descriptor will appear on your child’s report. The new 9-point scale replaces A-E ratings for students in Prep to Year 10.  The 9-point scale shows more specifically where your child’s learning achievement is against the expected standard for their year level.

The 9-point scale and worded descriptor assessment shows progress using the Australian Curriculum achievement standard established for children in every state and territory of Australia. It does not compare your child’s progress to other children in their class.

Your child’s teachers have also provided information about application to learning including effort, attitude and organisation.

Where can I get more information?

Should you have any queries about your child’s report, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school.
