Sharing of Evidence of Student Learning
Our Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews were held on Monday, 27th May and Tuesday, 28th May. It was wonderful to see so many families attending the interviews to discuss how to best to support students’ ongoing learning. It was also pleasing to see a number of our students taking an active interest in their learning by attending these interviews.
During these interviews, teachers were able to share a piece of student work or an evidence of learning with families and discuss students’ areas of strength and identify areas for future growth. The evidence of learning which were shared on the evenings included: pieces of writing, tests, photographs of work, pieces of artwork or recordings of a student’s performance.
If you were unable to attend our Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews, please be aware that our teachers are currently working to share an evidence of student learning with all our families. These samples of work may be shared through an online platform such as Canvas, via an email or may be printed and sent home. The evidence of learning will also include written feedback which provides an indication of how your child is progressing in a number of their key subject areas.
In line with the Department’s Reporting and Communication Requirements, all our teachers of full-year courses will be sharing one evidence of student learning with families in 2024. Teachers of Grade 7 half-year courses which are studied in the first part of the year will also be sharing one piece of student learning. All this evidence of student learning will be shared with families by Friday, 21st June.
Teachers of Grade 7 half-year courses which are studied in the second part of the year will also be sharing an evidence of student learning early in Term 4. Further information about this additional sharing of Grade 7 work and feedback will be outlined in Newsletter articles at the beginning of Term 4.
We would greatly appreciate your support in discussing this evidence of learning with your child. Please feel free to contact the relevant subject teacher if you have questions about the work sample and feedback which has been sent home. We are extremely keen to work in partnership with all our families to support our students to reach their full potential, so we are always very keen to hear from you.
