Year 7 to 10 Report Explanations

Subject Descriptor – a description of

what was studied this cycle.
Indicative Progress – this graph shows
how the student has progressed in each
cycle to date. The shaded area
indicates the expected level of
achievement. The legend at the bottom
of each page contains the explanation
of the 1 to 5 scale.

Assessment Tasks – the tasks that the

student will undertake during the year
(or semester in the case of semester
long units) are listed. Tasks that have
yet to be assessed will be indicated by
Not Yet Commenced.

Work Habits – the graphs indicate the

student's level of effort and their
standard of behaviour in the classroom
each cycle, to date, on a continuum
moving from red to green.

Recommendations – these are based

on the student's work for the cycle.

Assessment Task Grades

A+,. A … E+, E , A 10 point scale indicating the level of achievement for each assessment task, where A+ is the highest possible achievement
and E indicates that the minimum required standard has been met
Ungraded The work is completed by the student on time but it does not meet the criteria associated with the task OR the assessment
task was submitted after the deadline. It has been awarded an S but cannot be graded for a level of achievement
Not Assessed Indicates that the task was not undertaken or submitted

Work Habits
Please see details on the next page. This is the guide used by teachers to inform their judgements.
Work Habits
The continuum is an indication of your child’s level of effort and their standard of behaviour in the classroom. We encourage students to operate in the
green end of the scale. Students whose rating appears toward the red end are encouraged to reassess their approach to learning with the support and
advice of their teachers and student managers.

Year 10 – Form 10.5

Drama Teacher: Ms C Leavey

The course deals with the development of students' dramatic skills through examining prescribed theatrical styles and conventions. The
course includes; establishing character, using the space, interpreting dramatic stimulus, employing imagination and exploring elements of
non-naturalistic theatre. Students undertake solo and ensemble performances which require character transformation and the
development of an actor-audience relationship. Stagecraft is applied to all performance work.

Year 10 – Form 10.5

English - Myths and Legends Teacher: Mr R Walsh

Students analyse how texts construct meaning, convey ideas and values, and are open to a range of interpretations. Students
demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of selected texts through analytical, creative and comparative written responses.
Students analyse the use of language in texts that present a point of view on an issue in the media and construct a sustained point of
view on the issue.

Year 10 – Form 10.5

Physics Teacher: Mr J Serpant

Students in this subject use a wave model to describe sound. They explore the motion of objects by investigating the interaction of forces
and conversions of energy using the Laws of Physics. Electrical circuits are designed and the various components are manipulated. The
interaction of electricity and magnets is explored in motors. Students identify the major features of the Universe and explain the origin of
the Universe. They complete a self-directed investigation into a chosen aspect of Physics.
