Assessment & Reporting

Assessment

Throughout the academic year, all year groups (excluding TY) undertake formal assessments. 6th Year students have Halloween assessments two weeks before the midterm break and Parent Teachers Meetings one week later. 6th and 3rd year students have Christmas assessments the first week in December. All other assessments take place during the final week of each term at Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Summer. State Examination Students in Third and Sixth Year also sit Mock Examinations. Transition Years are assessed on an ongoing basis culminating in an end of year Interview with portfolio.

Reporting

Each House Exam is reported on by the subject teacher and these reports are made available to all parents. Every year, parents also have an opportunity to meet with all subject teachers and the Year Head at their assigned annual Parent/Teacher Meetings
