NSW Policy:
You must first have a clear understanding of the NSW Policy that has been put in place in regards to Reporting. This can be found in the NSW DEC’s ‘Curriculum planning and programming, assessing and reporting to parents K-12’ policy. This policy outlines the requirements of reporting to be:
- 1.3.1: Schools will provide parents/carers, throughout the school year, with formal and informal opportunities to receive information about and discuss their child’s learning.
- 1.3.2: The school’s procedures for reporting to parents will be:
(i) based on the Department’s policy
(ii) time efficient and manageable and
(iii) developed in consultation with parents/carers and teachers.
- 1.3.3: Schools will provide parents/carers with a written report on their child’s learning at least twice per year. The components of the written report will meet the Policy Standards.
- 1.3.4: Schools will provide information on how a child’s achievement compares with the child’s peer group at the school, on request from the child’s parents/carers.
- 1.3.5: Schools will disseminate to parents/carers the reports from state-wide testing programs and, as appropriate, will provide opportunity for discussion between teachers and parents/carers.
