Sharing of Evidence of Student Learning
Our Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews were held on Monday 19th May and Tuesday 20th 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 on sharing 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 the first half of the year. Evidence of student learning will be shared with families by Friday, the 30th May.
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 look forward to working 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.
