Engagement Report - All year levels

Engagement reports are emailed home every two weeks and show the progression of student engagement in each subject. Engagement is defined as a student’s willingness to participate in activities in a sustained and positive way. This may look different across different learning areas and year levels.

Engagement will be based on a scale of 1-5.   
3 = Meeting Expectations and the majority of students will receive a 3.

The definition of “Engagement” is derived from the three Key Competencies: Managing Self, Relating to Others and Participating and contributing. Students who exceed expectations in one of these competencies will score a 4. If students exceed expectations in two or more competencies, they can score a 5. The idea is similar for those not meeting expectations.

    1 – Rarely Meets Expectations

    2 – Meets Some Expectations 

    3 – Meets Expectations

    4 – Exceeds Some Expectations

    5 – Exceeds Expectations

Grades and Comments Report - All year levels

All learning areas publish grades and comments for every assessment at each year level. These comments relate to the Key Competencies of Thinking, and Using language, symbols and text. The focus is on the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values specific to a subject area. Each comment offers guidance that will enable students to improve their learning in that subject. While this data is live in our KAMAR Portal, a document is sent home at the start of Term 3 and the end of Term 4 summarising what is in KAMAR at that stage of the year.

Along with the subject assessment results, students in Year 9 and 10 Mathematics and English are receiving the new curriculum reports that adopt the descriptors of Emerging, Developing, Consolidating, Proficient, and Exceeding.  For mid-year reporting students who are Consolidating, Proficient or Exceeding are classed as on track to meet the new curriculum expectations at the end of the year.
