Reports on Student Learning 

Reporting is “the process of providing feedback to students, parents/carers, and other teachers about student progress” (NESA, 2021). At Mount Carmel Catholic College, our formal reports are designed to provide parents/guardians and students with constructive feedback to guide improvement throughout a student’s time at the College. Formal reports occur four times annually, where students and parents are given information on the academic and personal profile achievements of the student. The report is designed to improve learning and ensure that students have their strengths recognised as well as direction for where they might improve. The reports are designed to reflect the College's vision to be a ‘Christ-Centred community providing opportunities for excellence’. 

At Mount Carmel, we issue formal reports in two forms:

1. Tracking Reports: At the midpoint of each semester, tracking reports are distributed to provide an indicator of how a student is progressing throughout their course work. These reports provide an overview, with an A-E grade awarded for both the student’s Academic Achievement and Effort in each course. For Years 7-10, these reports do not include a pastoral profile, records of attendance or comments. The Year 11 Term 1 reports do include a pastoral profile and record of attendance.
2. Academic Reports: At the conclusion of each semester (Years 7-10 and 12) or midpoint and conclusion of the academic year (Year 11), students receive an academic report which provides a comprehensive overview of a student’s achievement of course specific objectives, supported by an academic profile (organisation and assessment, contribution to learning and interpersonal skills) and teacher comments. These reports also feature a pastoral profile and pastoral teacher comment, including a summary of involvement in co-curricular activities and a record of attendance data. 

The consideration and effort that goes into the creation of these reports ensures that they are a  tool to guide improvement and learning growth. The conversations that follow the distribution of reports, whether at Parent/Student/Teacher interviews, within the pastoral and academic classroom or at home are critical moments for feedback and feed forward.

All reports are distributed via Compass. In Term 1 the following reports will be issued:

Yr 11 Semester 1 Tracking Report - Friday 22 March

Yr 12 Half Yearly Academic Report - Friday 5 April

Yr 7 -10 Semester 1 Tracking Report - Friday 12 April
