4. Reporting at the End of the Compulsory Years

4.2 What is the purpose of external (i.e. by systems/Board/Council) reporting in the compulsory years in your state/territory? (if any)

The purpose of external reporting is to:

provide parents with confidential information about their child/ren's progress in literacy and numeracy, as compared to their ACT cohort, and against the National Profile Levels and the national benchmarks.

provide information to improve the flow of communication between parents, the school and the system and to focus attention on improving literacy and numeracy outcomes.
