SEMESTER 2 REPORTS

Due to COVID-19, the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has permitted schools to select the content that will form the basis of educational programs for Kindergarten to Year 10 students during 2020. As a result, not all syllabus content will be reported upon in Semester 2.

FEATURES OF SEMESTER 2 REPORTS	WHY?
Omission of an overall grade for each Key Learning Area (KLA)	In line with the flexible curriculum requirements as outlined by NESA, schools addressed all Key Learning Areas, however, not all outcomes and content were taught, assessed and reported upon. Therefore, the overall grades in each KLA have been omitted from the Semester 2 Report for 2020.
5 Point scale for Effort Descriptors	Previous Academic Reports contained Commitment to Learning Descriptors, these have been replaced with a 5 point scale outlining the effort demonstrated by the student during learning activities.
Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L) Description	The format used to report on PB4L has been modified to reflect a more comprehensive range of students’ social skills and behaviours.
Inclusion of descriptions for each Key Learning Area (KLA) and Content Strands	Additional detail has been added to describe the knowledge and skills taught in each KLA. The purpose of this information is to provide parents with a clearer understanding of the teaching and learning taking place.

Reports will be made available on Compass on Friday 11 December.
