This report is a crucial tool for understanding your child's progress during Semester 1. We encourage you to review it
in detail with your child.
Your child’s progress is measured against the Victorian Curriculum Achievement Standards ﴾Years 7 to 10﴿, Victorian
Certificate of Education VCE, or the VCE ‐VM Outcomes ﴾Years 11 and 12﴿. In addition, you will receive information
regarding the learning goals set by your child and an assessment of their work habits.
LEARNING GOALS ﴾NEW IN 2024﴿

Students have set formal learning goals for the first time this semester. These goals were set as part of the College’s
Home Group structure. We encourage you to discuss these goals and their achievement with your child. They will be
reviewed early next semester.
The report comprises the student's achievements in the learning areas in which they are enrolled. It also includes
students' work habits that align with the school values of respect, compassion, endeavour, and resilience.
ASSESSMENTS
Years 7‐10 Common Assessment Tasks ﴾CATs﴿ are designed for students to demonstrate their learning concerning the
key knowledge and skills being assessed. Students are expected to achieve a minimum E Grade for each CAT and
complete the coursework satisfactorily.
DETERMINATION OF SATISFACTORY COMPLETION

Year 7 ‐ 10
To complete a unit satisfactorily students must achieve a minimum S grade for each Common Assessment task ﴾CAT﴿
and coursework task﴾s﴿.
VCE and VCE ‐ VM
To achieve an overall Satisfactory unit completion, students are expected to gain an ‘S’ ﴾Satisfactory﴿ for each Area of
Study as outlined in the Study Design.
MATHEMATICS 2.0
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority ﴾VCAA﴿ published its revised mathematics curriculum
﴾Mathematics Curriculum 2.0﴿ this year. At Mooroolbark College, we use the revised mathematics curriculum for
school reporting from Semester 1, 2024.
In previous years, the students were reported against the three strands of the achievement standard for mathematics
﴾Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability﴿. Under the Mathematics
Curriculum 2.0, students are reported against the achievement standard, providing a single, aggregated score.
As the achievement standards reported have changed, this report shows students' achievements under the
Mathematics 2.0 curriculum; it will only show achievements, not progress. For all reports after this, progress will be
shown against the single achievement standard.
If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress during Semester One, please contact your child’s House
Leader or House Cluster Leader
