Regular reporting to parents and feedback on student progress is one of the primary requirements of all schools. We keep parents informed about their child’s progress in a variety of ways each term at City Beach Primary School. .
Parents and carers receive formal reports twice a year that comply with Department of Education requirements to:
- give an accurate and objective assessment of the student’s progress and achievement;
- provide an overall comment providing parents with a summary of their child’s achievement in their semester of learning across academic and social emotional domains; and
- include an assessment of the student’s achievement reported as ABCDE scale, clearly defined against specific learning standards and relative to the student’s peer group.
A child who achieves the expected standard for their year level will receive a C grade and this means that they have sound knowledge and understanding of concepts and have achieved an adequate level of competence in processes and skills in that learning area. Short parent interviews are held at the start of Term 2 each year to provide a progress snapshot prior to Semester 1 reports. Parents can request to meet with their child’s classroom teacher at any time throughout the year to discuss achievement and progress or any concerns. We work in partnership with families to provide each child with the opportunities to be confident, curious and creative learners.
Excursions
Excursions play an important part in the learning program of all classes. Excursion expenses are charged to parents each term. Written permission is required for all excursions, as is medical information. Failure to return the excursion slip will prevent the child from participating.
Children are expected to wear school uniform on excursions unless informed otherwise. Parents are requested to complete a medical information sheet for excursions.
