Year 6 Assessments 2015
Year 6 Assessments 2015 Dear Year 6 Students and Parents, The following calendar outlines the more formal assessment tasks that are scheduled during the year to assess students’ learning. It has been created to help students, families, teachers and our boarding houses be more aware of the workload that our boys are facing and is an initiative from our Student Representative Council and, in particular, from those students in Middle School in 2013. Teachers will still be informally assessing learning during lessons so that they can adjust their teaching program to suit the students in their class. Students will receive formal notification at least two weeks prior to these tasks which outlines what is required to be done and, where possible, marking criteria and/or revision advice. The table below indicates the week when the task is due, the subject, brief details of the task, whether the task will be completed at home or in class and the weighting towards their final result for the year. In some situations it may be required to adjust the timing of these tasks due to unforeseen circumstances. In the case of this happening students will still receive two weeks notification as well as being told of the change as early as possible.
