Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning.
Teachers observe students' work in class and look closely at tasks throughout the year. They also formally assess a student's achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of the subject.
As a parent or carer, you’ll receive a written report twice a year. It gives you a clear picture of your child’s achievements – what they know and can do.
In Years 7 to 10, we use the common grade scale in reporting. In Year 11, we use the Preliminary grade scale.
Assessments
We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.
School-based assessment
At the beginning of each semester, students receive an assessment booklet. This booklet outlines the work that students must complete and the conditions that apply to assessment at Chifley College Shalvey Campus.
For each course the guidelines for assessment tasks, a schedule of the due dates for each task and the value of each task.
State-wide assessment
