PREPARATORY YEAR OF SCHOOLING
At Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, a “play-based” approach to learning in Prep is adhered to and is supported by the Australian Curriculum documentation.
Prep promotes purposeful, planned and collaborative active learning, engaging the curriculum across five contexts: Play, Real-life situations, Investigations, Routines and transitions, Focused learning and teaching.
ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
Assessment is used to gain information about children and therefore inform teaching and learning experiences. Assessment is gained in a variety of ways, for example through conversations, observations and work samples.
To align with the Australian Curriculum, a written report card will be provided to parents/carers twice yearly. Religion, English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) and the Arts will be reported on using a five-point scale which includes the descriptors:
The remaining curriculum areas will have a written description in response to aspects of the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines–Active Learning Processes, Health and Physical Learning, Social and Personal Learning and will be reported on using a three-point scale:
Working towards expectations, Meeting expectations, Exceeding expectations.
