Parents receive an academic student report at the end of Semester 1 and at the end of Semester 2. These reports contain an A-E scale and dots to indicate achievement against the relevant standard at the time of the report. The report also contains written personalised comments from the teacher explaining what the student has achieved, areas for improvement, future learning - what the school will do and what parents can do at home. The report also includes comments from the specialists. In addition, the Years 3 – 6 students have their learning goals and a comment about achieving their goals from the teacher.
