Assessment and reporting

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning. These include observing work in class and looking closely at tasks throughout the year.

Twice a year, teachers formally assess a student’s achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of each subject. A written report using the common grade scale is sent home in the first half of the year, usually near the end of Term 2, and again in Term 4. This gives a clear picture of your child’s learning.

Assessments

We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.

  • ICAS Assessments - Como Public School will be participating in the world-renowned ICAS assessments this year. Students in Years 2-6 will have the opportunity to participate in the optional science, English, mathematics, spelling bee assessments. Digital technologies will be available for Years 3-6 students only. All ICAS assessments are now completed online. Each assessment will be held in the school library before school on the dates specified and supervised by a school staff member.
