Throughout Term 1 2014 our teachers have been busy implementing the new NSW English K-6 Syllabus for the Australian curriculum. Most teachers have also been trialling the new NSW Mathematics K-6 Syllabus.
Our Community of Schools Group (Mt Kuring-gai, Wideview, Cowan, Brooklyn and Berowra) have been working together to produce our semester one reports, which will go home later this term.
These reports are slightly different to our last ones. We now are reporting on the outcomes the children have been working on during the semester; these are listed and the students will be given either – Working Beyond/Working At/Working Towards. Students will be assessed at their grade level eg Year 1 not Stage 1 (as for the previous syllabus/reports). There will not be comments for English or Mathematics; instead there will be "Learning Goals". These Learning Goals will be areas where the students need either consolidation or assistance.
