At SFCC, assessment is ongoing and our teachers are continuously collecting data to help determine your child’s grade for each Key Learning Area (subject).
Assessment is the process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about a student’s learning. The central purpose of assessment is to provide information on student achievement and progress and set the direction for ongoing teaching and learning. All assessment at SFCC is based on a standards-referenced approach that measures student achievement against specified standards.
At SFCC, assessment follows the Principles of Effective Assessment. ‘Assessment for learning’, ‘assessment as learning’ and ‘assessment of learning’ are approaches that are used individually or together, formally or informally, to gather evidence about student achievement and to improve student learning.
It is important to note that a formal assessment task is one piece of evidence teachers will consider when determining an overall grade.
In addition to the above, SFCC follow the CEDoW Assessment and Reporting Policy and report to Common Grade Scale as mandated by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).
