Reporting

A – E reporting

The Australian Curriculum is designed to help all young Australians to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens. Presented as a developmental sequence of learning from Foundation – Year 10, the Australian Curriculum describes to teachers, parents, students and others in the wider community what is to be taught and the quality of learning expected of young people as they progress through school.

To fulfil the legislative requirements of the Australian Education Act and Regulation 2013 schools must report to parents on student achievement and progress at least twice a year using a five-point scale. Teachers use standards and social moderation processes to describe how well a student has demonstrated their learning based on a collection of evidence.

Achievement standards

The Australian Curriculum sets out what all young people should be taught through the specification of curriculum content and the learning expected at points in their schooling through the specification of achievement standards. 

An achievement standard describes the quality of learning (the depth of understanding, extent of knowledge and sophistication of skill) expected of students at points in their schooling. In Queensland, the achievement standard represents the C Standard (or equivalent) on a five-point scale (A-E), representing the student’s knowledge and understanding and application of skills.  

Annual School Report

All Queensland schools are required to publish annually a minimum set of information for parents and the community.  The Annual Reporting Policy for all Queensland Schools incorporates both the Queensland Government and Australian Government annual reporting requirements for schools. To view a specific school’s annual report visit the school website.

My School website

The My School website is hosted by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority. It provides information that helps parents/carers and the community understand the performance of schools over time. My School contains data on every school in Australia. This includes information on a school’s student profile, its NAPLAN performance and funding. Enrolment numbers and attendance rates are also available. The My School website provides information that supports national transparency and accountability of Australia’s school education system through publication of nationally consistent school-level data.
