Learning - Assessment and Reporting
Assessment
The focus of our curriculum is on the students and their learning. The focus of any assessment is therefore designed to reinforce student learning and to help teachers pinpoint difficulties so that appropriate action can be taken. Assessment at Oatley Public School is designed to reflect individual progress and the learning that is taking place. Regular ongoing assessment of each student is a requirement of each teacher. Formal records are kept on student record files. Teachers are responsible for keeping these files up to date with attendance records, test results and other relevant information which is then entered yearly on a school reporting database maintaining an ongoing profile of the student while at Oatley PS.
Teachers use a range of tools to assess student's learning including:
