Academic Assessment
Each student's progress is assessed using a combination of methods. These include class projects, assignments, samples of student's work, observation, anecdotal records written and oral tests. Reporting of Academic progress at school is made in the following ways:
-
An initial written report and parent interview (if required) - approximately 5 weeks into Term One.
-
Mid-Year and compulsory parent interviews - end of Term Two
-
Progress reports and parent interviews (if required) - end of Term Three
-
Year-End Report - distributed at the conclusion of the school year
It is expected that parents/carers will attend the Mid-Year Report night to collect their child's report and discuss progress with teachers.
Homework
The staff at Canberra Christian School believe that homework plays an important role in a child's successful achievement at school. It is the school's policy that each student completes set homework appropriate to their development level Monday - Thursday nights.
