Assessment and reporting
At Holland Park State School, our teachers use a
variety of standardised and diagnostic assessments to diagnose learning needs,
determine achievement and inform teaching. Students are also assessed
throughout and at the end of a unit of work to determine their overall
understanding of the topic, these assessment pieces are moderated across the
year level to ensure consistency. Students in years 3 and 5 participate in
National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).
Written report cards are issued twice yearly, using a
five point scale to report student achievement. Parent teacher interviews are
offered in terms 1 and 3. A variety of assessment pieces are used to
demonstrate student learning and inform end of semester reporting.
