From the Deputy Principal – Academic (K-12)
Additional Learning Discussions in Term 4
The past ten weeks of online learning have changed the landscape significantly. Therefore, we will be making some adjustments to assessment and reporting in Term 4 to provide the greatest value to our students and parents. Connection and conversation have never been so important and we’d like to provide an additional opportunity for students, teachers and parents to come together to celebrate the successes of each girl this year.
Early in Term 4 we will be running an additional set of learning discussions for students K-10, they will be held across a number of days in Weeks 2 and 3. You will soon receive an email with instructions for booking appointments with your daughter’s teachers. We will be asking each student to prepare a reflection or some work that they are proud of to share with you and the teacher.
This investment of time in conversation is important and we hope provides you with a rich and personal understanding of how your daughter has performed in each subject throughout the year. The academic reports for each subject will be modified as a consequence to recognise the value of this feedback the key components of subject outline, overall grade (including distributions), effort and application will remain, however the comments and subject outcomes will be replaced by the face-to-face conversations.
You will be provided the opportunity to have a discussion with your daughter’s teachers including her Compass and Directions teachers.
Mr Justin Raymond
