assessment & reporting
- Assessing and Reporting are evident in the DLP
- Reflective of a student’s performance during a semester
- Report Cards will provide parents with information on their child’s progress, as a result of testing, assignments, observations and work samples
- Report Cards will be distributed to parents/caregivers at the end of each semester
- Teachers will provide parents with the opportunity for a brief interview to discuss their child’s progress at the end of Term 1 & Term 3. St Anthony’s considers these interviews as a valuable means of fostering a positive educational partnership with parents/caregivers and encourages all to participate
- Student Portfolios will sent home each term to provide evidence of student progress.
Report Card Gradings:
The C grade means that the student is able to use the knowledge, understanding and skills in ‘routine, familiar situations’ for their respective year level. The other grades of D (can partially use the knowledge, or only use some of the knowledge) and E (has not yet acquired the knowledge) also apply to routine, familiar situations.
The grades of A and B indicate that the student is able to use the knowledge in situations requiring ‘creative and critical thinking, inquiry and insight’. (An A indicates that the student is able to use the knowledge in these situations. The grade of B indicates that the student is able to partially use this knowledge in these situations.) In other words, the higher grades indicate higher-order thinking.
The grade standards are summarized below:
Similarly, all learning areas in Prep will be reported on using a five-point scale in the twiceyearly report card, along with other reporting instruments such as portfolios. The descriptors for this five-point scale are:

In other words, the higher grades indicate higher-order thinking.
The grade standards are summarized below:
- A The student is able to independently apply the targeted knowledge, understanding and skills in both routine, familiar situations and in situations that require critical and creative thinking, inquiry and insight.
- B The student is able to independently apply the targeted knowledge, understanding and skills in routine, familiar situations and is able to partially apply this targeted knowledge, understanding and skills in situations that require critical and creative thinking, inquiry and insight.
- C The student is able to independently apply the targeted knowledge, understanding and skills in routine, familiar situations.
- D The student is able to partially apply the targeted knowledge, understanding and skills in routine, familiar situations and in situations.
- E The student has not yet acquired the targeted knowledge, skills and understanding and is unable to apply this in routine, familiar situations.
Similarly, all learning areas in Prep will be reported on using a five-point scale in the twiceyearly report card, along with other reporting instruments such as portfolios. The descriptors for this five-point scale are:
- Applying (AP)
- Making Connections (MC)
- Working With (WW)
- Exploring (EX)
- Becoming Aware (BA)
