Reporting and Parent Interviews – Term 2

At Lilydale District School, we report on student progress using the Australian Curriculum for Prep to Year 10 when appropriate.  Our teachers assess student learning in each subject area and report against the achievement standards for each year level when it can be matched.

The reports provide a snapshot of how students are progressing, where they are confident and where they continue need to continue to develop.  We also assess their learning behaviours which include effort, behaviour and attitude.

Our teachers use a range of evidence to support them in writing reports including their classwork observations, assessments, and discussions with students.  The reports that our parents receive help us to communicate clearly with families about learning, growth, and goals moving forward.

Parent/teacher interview appointments will open online from Monday, 16 June and will close on Thursday, 26 June.  More information will be sent home soon about how to make an appointment.

Reports will be sent home on Thursday, 26 June.

 Parent/teacher interviews will run from Monday, 30 June to Thursday,3 July.

• Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3.15pm to 4.30pm.
• Tuesday from 3.15pm to 6.30pm.

We hope that every parent at our school is able to attend a parent/teacher interview to discuss your child’s learning. 

Please contact me if you would like to chat about this further.

School Photos

During Term 1, our students had their school photos taken celebrating being a part of our Lilydale District School Community.  Student from Kindergarten to Year 10 wore their school uniform, were respectful and showed patience throughout the day.

I have had a brief look at the photos this afternoon and I hope that you see them as more than just a snapshot.  They are reminders of friendships, challenges, and the small steps that happens every day at our school.  As the year progresses, every face tells a story, and these faces share so many.

I would like to sincerely thank our families for ensuring our students came prepared in full school uniform, ready for their ‘shots’ to be taken. When all students wear their uniform we know they support the Lilydale  ‘team’.

I would also like to thank our amazing staff, ensuring the day ran smoothly and to our students who demonstrated our value of being respectful, especially when waiting for your photo turn.

Thank you for your respect and patience during our photo day.

Warm Regards,

Karen Hay
Principal
