The Nazareth whole school Assessment Plan provides guidance for the implementation of an extensive range of assessment tasks for all students. A wide range of learning data is gathered and analysed on a regular basis. The learning progress of each student is monitored closely and when required, support and interventions are implemented so that students can maintain growth and for many students exceed expected learning growth. Regular staff meetings including Case Collaboration and Collaborative Inquiry meetings focus on ongoing and continuous improvement in relation to students and their learning and teachers and their teaching. In accord with NESA and Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong policy and procedures, parents/ carers are provided with formal Student Reports throughout the year, the first of which will be accessible for parents/carers of students in Year 1 to Year 6 from next Friday June 18. To support the process of reporting, parent/teacher interviews will be available from Monday June 21. I encourage all parents/ carers to book an interview time (refer to details in this Newsletter). Interviews will provide time so you can clarify information and also engage in discussion with your child’s teacher so that you can gain further insight into your child’s learning growth. Student Reports Year 1 to Year 6 will be accessed online via Compass. Please note that Kindergarten Reports are not issued at this time (but parent/ teacher interviews are available).

Enjoy the week ahead.
