Mid-Semester Reporting - Donnybrook
Mid-Semester reports allow teachers to provide parents with a snapshot of how their child is progressing in relation to the learning dispositions. The graphical scale - Not Apparent, Rarely, Sometimes, Usually and Consistently - is used to measure a student’s approach to learning in relation to their engagement with tasks, preparedness in class and willingness to work hard and show persistence when faced with challenges. The reports will be published on Wednesday, 30 March at 4:00pm and are accessible on the Parent Access Module (PAM) via the Student Assessment tab within each child’s profile. You can also access historical reports via the same tab to compare how your child has performed over time. Please take some time to discuss with your child their report and set some goals for the term ahead.
Parent Teacher Student Interviews
Parent Teacher Student interviews are a key part of the feedback we give to students and parents/guardians. These conversations are an important opportunity for us to discuss the term’s work and strategies to support your child’s ongoing learning. These interviews will be held on Tuesday, 26 April.
Your child’s mid-semester Report will indicate whether an interview is Required or Welcomed. Bookings can be made via the Parent Access Module (PAM) from 9:00am on Friday, 1 April.
Extended Leave
We know that students learn best when they attend classes with minimal disruption. Within the course of the academic year, it is important that your child attends all their classes to ensure the successful development of concepts, knowledge and skills. We are also aware that at various times throughout the year, some families may plan holidays or extended trips.
Families are discouraged from taking extended leave during the school term as doing so disrupts the learning process and creates gaps in essential knowledge and skills.
