Student Reporting System

Ongoing Reporting at Yarrawonga College P-12

At Yarrawonga College P-12, we are committed to continuously improving student learning and providing every opportunity for our students to thrive. To support this, our college has implemented an Ongoing Reporting system, designed to keep students and families informed with timely, meaningful feedback throughout the school year.

What is Ongoing Reporting?

Ongoing Reporting is the process of regularly providing students and families with feedback on student progress, rather than only at traditional reporting times. While teachers have always assessed students throughout each semester, reports were previously issued only at the end of each semester—often long after assessments had taken place.

This new system allows families to access up-to-date, relevant information about what their child is learning and how they are progressing. It encourages families to engage in ongoing conversations with their children about learning and enables prompt communication with teachers when needed.

All feedback is accessible via the Compass platform, allowing parents and students to track learning progress and view assessments throughout the year.

What to Expect

• Interim Reports at the end of Term 1 and Term 3
• Summary Reports at the end of Semester 1 and Semester 2
• Regular Learning Task Feedback on Compass, which may include:
  • Assessment rubrics
  • Test scores
  • Exam results
  • Teacher comments

What are Learning Tasks?

Learning tasks are assessments that students complete to demonstrate their understanding of a topic or unit. Each task is accompanied by feedback such as a rubric, test score, exam result, and/or written comment.

What are Assessment Rubrics?

Assessment rubrics are tools used by teachers to assess a student’s performance against specific Victorian Curriculum outcomes and task-based criteria.

• P–10 rubrics reflect a continuum of development aligned with expected year-level standards.
• VCE, VCAL, and VET rubrics are tailored to meet the unique requirements of those courses.

Rubrics are accessible on Compass alongside the relevant learning tasks.

What is an Interim Report?

An interim report provides a snapshot of your child’s:

• Achievement
• Behaviour and effort (Years P–6)
• Learning habits (Years 7–12)
• Attendance

These reports are released at the end of Term 1 and Term 3, giving families an opportunity to work with teachers to support student learning both at school and at home.

What is a Summary Report?

Summary reports consolidate your child’s learning and progress over the semester:

• Students in Years P–10 will receive a Victorian Curriculum achievement level (dot progression point).
• VCE and VET students will receive a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory result for each unit outcome.

Please note: The mark on a summary report may differ from individual task results. While task scores reflect performance on a specific piece of work, the summary report considers overall achievement across all assessment tasks and classwork for the semester.
