UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’S

SEMESTER 2 REPORT

Your child’s Semester 2 report is a concise report

of student progress and achievement that all

parents can easily understand.

The final assessment is gained from the range of

formal and informal assessment tasks and

activities undertaken over the semester, an

overall, balanced judgement is made about

which standard or progression point the

evidence best matches. The A-E scale used from

Year 1 to Year 6, means that all Government

schools (with the exception of some specialist

setting schools) use the same approach to

reporting student progress.

In every school:

• a ‘Sound’ (C) rating means that a student is at

the standard expected at the time of reporting

and that their learning is on track. A ‘C’ does not

mean achievement is ‘just adequate’. It indicates

that a student has met the state-wide standard

expected of students of their age at the time of

reporting and their learning is firmly on track.

Most students will receive this grade.

• a ‘High’ (B) rating means that a student is

above the standard expected for their year level

at the time of reporting

• an ‘Outstanding ‘ (A) rating means a student is

well above the standard expected for their year

level at the time of reporting

• a “Basic” (D) rating means a student is below

the standard expected

• a ‘Limited’ (E) rating means well below the

standard expected for their year level at the time

of reporting
