The second internal assessment task (IA2 or CIA) for each subject will be completed in the coming weeks, and the provisional results will be submitted to the QCAA later in the term. A full academic report for Unit 3 will be distributed in Week 6 and this will include a complete breakdown of how each student is progressing. It is hoped that the information presented will enable you to have meaningful and reflective discussions with your son or daughter as they move into the final phase of learning.

The Year 12 reports are structured in the following way:

Course Overview – for Semester 1, gives an overview of the content studied during Unit 3, which was generally taught between Term 4, 2021 and Term 1, 2022.

Assessment results summary (General subjects only) – This table gives a breakdown of how students have performed on each assessment task. This is indicated for General Subjects only, due to these subjects’ marks weighing heavily towards a student’s ATAR. Students should identify which content and assessment objectives they performed well in, and which need further development. They should seek teacher feedback on how to improve in these areas.

Learning profile – Teachers rate students on how they have performed as individual learners. The following terms are used to qualify their performances: Consistently (C), Usually (U), Sometimes (S), Rarely (R), and Never (N). A description of each of these is found on the front page of the reports.

Overall Achievement (General and Applied subjects) – This is an overall result for Unit 3 so students understand their overall performance. Discussions based on the Overall Achievement are important as they move into Unit 4 and the external exams. Furthermore, the Overall Achievement results indicate whether a student will receive a QCE point for satisfactory completion. Each subject has a different criterion for awarding a Unit 3 result so if more information is required, please speak to the subject teacher.

Overall Achievement (VET subjects) – This is rated CA (Competency Achieved), WTC (Working Towards Competency), and CNA (Competency Not Achieved). A description of each of these is found on the front page of the reports.

Years 7 and 9 students have been engaging in NAPLAN this week, and they are to be commended on their efforts. NAPLAN can often be seen as something extra for the student to complete; however, the information it gives to students, teachers, and parents and carers about how students are progressing in their education is invaluable. From a teacher’s point of view, it gives insight into each student’s needs and enables them to plan more effectively to ensure they are addressing these.
