SCHOOL CURRICULUM & STANDARDS AUTHORITY (SCSA) EXPECTED STANDARDS
All classroom teachers from Pre-primary (Foundation) to Year 6 follow the Western Australian Curriculum in the four areas of English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS). Teachers report against the Western Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards. Achievement standards are comprised of a written description and student work samples. The achievement standard describes the expected achievement for students who have been taught the curriculum content for the full year of schooling.
Specialist teachers cover the areas of The Arts (Visual and Music), Physical Education, Languages (German) and Design and Technology.
All teachers at Shelley Primary collaborate with year level colleagues to examine student work samples and discuss collaborative assessment tasks to assist in determining allocation of grades for semester reports. Together, the description of the achievement standard and the online work samples help teachers to make informed judgements about whether students have achieved the standard.
Teachers continue to use a range and variety of assessment information collected throughout the year to determine a final grade for the purpose of reporting to parents. If you have any questions please see your child’s classroom teacher.
