Take advantage of every opportunity

 Collaborating effectively and respectfully


Scoring breakdown/definition on a 1-5 scale:

1. Cause for concern

2. Inconsistent

3. Fair

4. Good

5. Displaying excellence 

The Fortnightly Reports (FNR’s) have proven to be a really valuable tool for identifying concerns early and picking up any changes in learning or behaviour. They also provide the basis for important conversations between students, parents and teachers. 

The Grade Point Averages (GPA) from the Fortnightly reports for the whole year determines whether a student will receive a Merit award. These are presented at the senior and junior prize givings at the end of the year. 

Merit Award; given for an end of year GPA greater than 7.5

Merit with Distinction Awards; given for an end of year GPA greater than 9.0

If you have any questions regarding the Fortnightly Reports we strongly encourage you to contact the tutor teacher as they are monitoring students' progress.
