	Assessment and Reporting
The focus of our curriculum is on the students and their learning, growth and understanding. The focus of any assessment is therefore designed to reinforce student learning and to help teachers pinpoint difficulties so that appropriate action can be taken. Assessment at Larapinta School is designed to reflect individual progress and the learning that is taking place. Regular ongoing assessment of each student is a requirement of each teacher. Formal records are kept on student record files. Teachers are responsible for keeping these files up to date with attendance records, test results and other relevant information. Teachers use a range of tools to assess student's learning including: Checklist Anecdotal records Rubrics Portfolio pages Observation records Standardised tests Reporting to parents about student progress is an essential component of a teacher's professional responsibility. The following is an outline for reporting student progress to parents/guardians of Larapinta Primary School students. Term 1 - Informal meet the teacher night, portfolios sent home for parent comment Term 2 – Formal written (A – E) report, Three way conference (Parent, Teacher, Student) report and portfolios sent home for parent comment Term 3 - Interviews on request, portfolios sent home for parent comment Term 4 - Formal summative school report, formal written (A – E) report and portfolios sent home Each teacher will maintain ongoing folios of student work throughout the year. These folios will be sent home with the students once per term. Opportunity will be given for both parents and students to reflect on their learning.
