Report Cards

On Monday 19th June from about 2:30pm, you will be able to view your child's Semester One Report Card on the Compass Portal. This report will display your child's ‘academic achievement’, as well as their ‘commitment to learning’ for each Learning Area. To better understand your child's report card, please note the following: 

Ensure you understand the 5 scale marking system

- Prep and Year 1 grades are reported as 'Applying (AP), Making Connections (MC), Working With (WW), Exploring (EX), or Becoming Aware (BA).

- Year 2 to 6 are reported as A, B, C, D or E. 

- A WW/C is an indication that your child has achieved the year level curriculum that is being assessed; your child has achieved well for their year level. 

- A EX/D and a BA/E indicates that your child has achieved below year level expectations.

- A MC/B and a AP/A indicates that your child has achieved above year level expectations. 

Has my child gone backwards? 

- Your child may receive a different grade to last year, or they may be achieving below the year level expectations; this does not automatically mean they have regressed in their learning. Each new year students are assessed against a new Achievement Standard from the Australian Curriculum. Therefore, students can progress in their learning, but it may not necessarily be reflected in their ‘academic grade.’ It is best to talk to your child's teacher if you are concerned about your child's progress in their learning. 

Focus on Effort over Grades

- Your child's 'Commitment to Learning' mark is by far one of the most important aspects of every child's report card! It is the aspect of their schooling that they have the most direct control over. If your child is focused on trying their best and feels that their efforts are seen and valued, they are going to be much more resilient learners. Resilient learners enjoy learning, continue to challenge themselves and are more comfortable making mistakes, regardless of their grade. 

Know your child

- All of us understand our own children’s strengths and weaknesses, the things that make them unique, their special interests and their attitudes. Please remember that the Semester Report Card is one form of feedback about your child’s achievement and progress at school.

Thank you to all of our teachers at St Benedict's for the time, effort and commitment it takes to write Semester Report Cards. We hope you enjoy reading them. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email your child’s teacher. 

Yours in Learning,
