Assessment information and forms

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess each student's work. This includes observing their work engagement and looking closely at the work they produce throughout the year.

Teachers assess each student's achievements based on the outcomes described in the syllabuses of each subject.

A written report using the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) common grade scale is sent home usually near the end of Term 2 and Term 4, to give you a clear picture of your child's achievements.

We provide detailed information to students about what is expected from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed.
