Senior School
Reporting
The Senior School reports your son’s progress twice a year in conjunction with student, parent, and teacher interviews. Information in this report is based on the achievement standard outlined in the Western Australian Curriculum for students in Years 9 and 10 and for Years 11 and 12, the reports will reflect the achievement against the grade related descriptors outlined in the IB Diploma or WACE Programmes.
Year 9 and 10
In Year 9 and 10, students will receive a report each semester that will include: their ongoing course average, the cohort average, a grade A through to E, a graphical display of the grade boundaries and the relative position the boy sits within those grade boundaries. All grade boundaries are determined using the grade related descriptors set by the Australian Curriculum and may vary from subject to subject. In addition, Semester 2 reports will also include the examination result and the cohort examination average.
As a variety of Approaches to Learning are explicitly taught in each learning area, the report will also include the subject specific skills that were taught and developed over the Semester and the level of development demonstrated by the student.
The four levels can be defined by;
Novice: A student who watches others perform the skill but has yet to engage.
Learner: A student who copies and emulates the skill in an effort to become proficient.
Practitioner: A student who has mastered the skill at an age appropriate level and is confidently using the skill.
Leader: A students who is a practitioner in the skill but also assist others to develop or uses their own refined strategies to develop themselves in that skill.
