Reporting Student Progress to Parents

​

At Lindenow Primary School, we are committed to keeping families informed about their child’s academic progress and development.

​

• Student Report Cards: Formal Victorian Government Student Report Cards are provided mid-year and at the end of the year. These reports reflect student achievement against the Victorian Curriculum F–10 and include teacher comments on individual progress and future learning goals.

• Parent–Teacher Interviews: Formal interviews are held mid-year, but parents are encouraged to contact their child’s teacher at any time throughout the year to discuss progress or address any concerns.

​

We aim to foster strong partnerships between home and school, ensuring every child receives the support they need to succeed.

Monitoring & Assessment

​

Student learning at Lindenow Primary School is closely monitored from Prep to Grade 6 using a combination of formal and informal assessments. These include:

​

• Analysis of daily classwork

• Weekly testing aligned with the Victorian Curriculum F–10

• In-class observations

• Special projects, presentations, and written reports

​

These strategies enable teachers to identify each student’s strengths, learning needs, and growth opportunities, ensuring targeted and meaningful instruction that supports every learner’s progress.

​

Homework

​

At Lindenow Primary School, homework is designed to reinforce learning from the classroom and help students develop independence and responsibility.

The amount and type of homework vary depending on the student’s year level, learning needs, and abilities.

​

Parents are encouraged to:

• Support their child with homework tasks

• Listen to their child read aloud regularly, especially in the early years

• Establish a consistent routine for completing schoolwork

​

By following these practices, students build strong study habits and take ownership of their learning.

​

NAPLAN Testing

​

Students in Years 3 and 5 participate in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) each year.

​

Families receive a standardised report outlining their child’s results in reading, writing, language conventions, and numeracy.

 

These results provide valuable insights into student achievement and help guide future teaching and learning at Lindenow Primary School.
