4. Reporting at the End of the Compulsory Years

4.1 What is the purpose of internal (i.e. by schools) reporting in the compulsory years in your state/territory?

 

Each year schools are required to provide parents with at least two written reports on student achievement in the key learning areas against the Curriculum and Standards Framework (CSF) II for Years Prep to Year 10.

The key aim of reporting students’ progress to parents is to ensure that parents are provided with accurate, useful and timely information about their child’s progress at school and to provide a point of discussion between teachers and parents to assist with the next steps in student’s learning.

Parents receive student results from the statewide Achievement Improvement Monitor (AIM) testing. The Board of Studies conducts the AIM for students in Years 3 and 5 in English and Mathematics.

Victoria does not have a Year 10 Certificate.
