St Catherine’s reporting and feedback is aligned to our character dispositions bold, independent, resilient, and creative, our Teaching and Learning Framework, our Thinking Agenda and learner competencies and Learning Behaviours.  

At St Catherine’s, our intention is to give student feedback that is timely, purposeful, includes feedback and feed forward comments and clearly shows students where they need to improve in their learning.  

Our feedback is continuous and focuses on the teacher and students working in partnership to develop the students’ skills, knowledge, and competencies in all their subjects.  

How does St Catherine’s give academic feedback?

• Written feedback on class tasks and assessments  
• Parent Teacher Student Conferences 
• Grades  
• Verbal feedback through one-on-one meetings and consultations with students  
• Peer feedback on tasks through collaboration  
• Portal feedback  
• Learning Behaviours that focus on learner competencies  
• Rubrics that align to comments    

Learning Behaviours

Learning Behaviours are reported across three indicators: organisation for learning, engagement in learning and attitude to learning. The Learning Behaviours rubric will be reported on every term on the Portal, allowing parents to understand how their daughter is developing in their Learning Behaviours. Students work in partnership with their teachers to understand the Learning Behaviours, develop their learning, and reflect on them in their end of Semester Student Reflection.  

Online Parent Teacher Student Conferences 13 and 20 March

The Senior School teachers look forward to meeting with all parents and students in the upcoming online Parent Teacher Student Conferences. We encourage all students to attend these online interviews with their parents as we work in partnership to develop all students’ learning.  

The conversations will be an excellent opportunity for parents to meet (online) with teachers to discuss your daughter’s progress in their subjects and work in partnership with teachers on the learning journey of your daughter/s.  

These conferences will take place on Wednesday 13 and 20 March from 4:00pm until 8:00pm. All parents were emailed instructions on how to book last week. 

Please note that on both the 13 and 20 March Senior School classes finish at lunchtime. 

I encourage all parents to access the Portal to read feedback on each subject prior to these interviews.
