Assessment Procedures

Under new legislation set down by the Federal Government, schools are required to report in writing to parents twice per year. Reports will be sent home via COMPASS at the end of Terms 2 and 4.

Staff Professional Development Days

Each year the school has a minimum of three pupil free days for the professional development of teachers. Parents are given at least four weeks notice where possible. Such days are PUPIL FREE.

Staff Release Days

All staff have a release from face to face teaching (RFF) allocation in accordance with their teaching load. Therefore, teaching staff have a two hour block of release timetabled each week. During this time, the students will attend a lesson with the Teacher Librarian in the Learning Hub for 1 hour and curriculum input from an appointed RFF appointed teacher for 1 hour. The classroom teacher will use this time for classroom planning, collaboration, administration or professional development.

Teachers may also be released from class to attend professional development courses.
