Semester Reports Year 7-10

Year 7-10 Academic Reports for Semester 1 have been published this week via Compass for families to access. An email has  been sent to parents and carers explaining how to access their son/daughters Academic Report with an email link to our IT Staff, should there be any technical issues. 

I hope these reports will be a change to both celebrate success and an opportunity to look for areas to improve academically in Semester 2.  

The Importance of Academic Reports for parents:

Academic Reports can serve as a valuable instrument for fostering both student achievement and wellbeing, while also facilitating meaningful conversations around goals and their level of participation across the school community.  

By reviewing grades, effort indicators, and teachers’ comments, families can collaboratively acknowledge areas of strength, identify potential challenges, and discuss the student’s sense of engagement across various subjects and activities. 

Such discussions enable students to reflect on their interests, motivations, and areas for growth, leading to the establishment of realistic and purposeful goals for future learning. Prioritising both academic progress and active engagement contributes significantly to students’ sense of connection, confidence, and overall wellbeing, enhancing their chances for long-term success. 

Our Leader of Pedagogy, Mrs Maybury has aligned all of the above in our Student Engagement Continuum, which may be of use for parents and families to begin this conversation following this week’s Academic Reports.
