The Focus in on the Learning 

How will parents receive feedback about their child’s learning in 2022?

There are many ways that the teachers at St Andrews College provide feedback to students and parents throughout the year. In 2022, we are emphasising the fact that everything students do during their lesson counts towards their final report grades and that’s what makes feedback so important.

The feedback that parents will receive from teachers for students in years 7-10 via Compass will be based on  the following levels:

These levels of learning allow parents to know where their child has achieved and what they need to do in order to improve their learning. These feedback statements are used in years 7 to 10 only.

What is important here, is that parents are signed into their Compass app, as over the coming weeks class teachers and KLA Leaders of Learning will be releasing feedback. This feedback will let parents know how students have started off in term 1 and the type of work they have been engaged in over the last 4 weeks.

Additionally, we invite parents to view their child’s google classrooms for each subject as there are many other ways that your child is receiving feedback on their learning that is posted there. Parents can make contact with their child’s classroom teacher via phone or email if they would like further information about their child’s progress at any time throughout the year.

Finally, we encourage parents to engage in conversations with their children about their day to day learning. Showing an interest in your child’s learning outside of reporting times will encourage them to do their best in every lesson, develop an awareness of their study habits and seek help from their teachers if they need it.
