Semester Two Reports
In Week 10, Years 7 to 10 students will receive an individual report, describing their learning achievements over the semester. A grade from A-E for each subject will be allocated describing how well students have achieved
- the depth of knowledge and understanding and
- the range of skills that students are showing.
The Common Grade Scale describes performance at each of the five grade levels shown below.
|
Grade |
Description |
|
A |
The student has extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In addition, the student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations. |
|
B |
The student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills. In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations. |
|
C |
The student has sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate level of competence in the processes and skills. |
|

The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a limited level of competence in the processes and skills. |
|
E |
The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in a few areas of the content and has achieved very limited competence in some of the processes and skills. |
In addition, students will be assessed on their learning habits. A three-point scale (Consistently, Sometimes, Rarely) will be used to indicate achievement in this area. The learning habits for Semester 2 are:
