Assessment and reporting

Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning. These include observing work in class and looking closely at tasks throughout the year.

YNPS Assessment Schedule

At YNPS we strive to deliver the best possible education for all our students. Throughout the year assessment tasks are implemented K-6 to track student data. Data from these tasks are used to inform and guide future teaching and learning.

Student Reports

Twice a year, teachers formally assess a student’s achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of each subject. A written report using the common grade scale is sent home in the first half of the year, usually near the end of Term 2, and again in Term 4. This gives a clear picture of your child’s learning.

Essential Assessment

Students at Young North Public School engage with Essential Assessment. It is a mathematical assessment that grades students based on mathematical concepts. It is completed online and is interactive. 

Assessments

We provide detailed information to students about what we expect from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed. Students have a number of formal assessments throughout their schooling.
