This Semester Catholic Education Canberra-Goulburn has advised schools that general comments will not be required on Semester 1, 2025 reports. As a school community we will prioritise Parent/Teacher Conferences for every family. These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, their strengths, challenges and future areas of focus. A Semester Report will be sent home as in previous Semesters, providing A-E grading, work habits and attendance information.
Parent Teacher Interviews will take place throughout Week 8 (16-20 June). The option to book parent-teacher interviews will be available on COMPASS and will open to families on Tuesday 3 June and remain until open until Thursday 12 June (Week 6-7).
Reports will be released via Compass on Wednesday 2 July (Week 10).
A reminder that our Kindergarten students receive an alternative scale to A-E as outlined below.
Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the guidelines for assessment and reporting.

When a student receives a ‘C’ grade, it means they have demonstrated the quality of learning described in the Achievement Standard, based on the content studied in the reporting period. If a student receives a ‘C’ in both semester 1 and 2 reports, it indicates that the student has made progress, and learned new knowledge and skills based on the new and more challenging material studied.
A student’s report will list a grade for each subject studied.

The following A-E descriptors will appear on the report:
• A demonstrating outstanding achievement of the standard
• B demonstrating a high achievement of the standard
• C demonstrating achievement of the standard
• D demonstrating partial achievement of the standard
• E demonstrating limited achievement of the standard.
