Responsibility Courage Persistence Respect
When student progress is reported in end of year students will be
working towards the expected Achievement Standard.

You can ask the school to provide you with written information that
clearly shows your child's achievements in the subjects studied in
comparison to that of other children in the child's peer group at the
school. This information will show you the number of students in each
of the 5 achievement levels.

*N.B. Students on Negotiated Education Plans (NEP) will be assigned levels

in Learning Areas where accommodations are made in the Australian
National Curriculum.

**Students who have recently exited into Mainstream from the Intensive
English Language Centre may not be given a grade in this End of Year report.

Learning Area Achievement Effort

English E E

This semester the class has completed units on informative and procedural writing. Nikki
has demonstrated a sound understanding of the structure of both texts and uses the
appropriate language features related to each genre. Nikki is a capable writer who
consistently demonstrates an understanding of the purpose of the text she is writing. She
uses complex verbs groups, as well as a range of circumstances, which adds further detail to
her writing allowing her to better communicate her message. Furthermore, Nikki can
reference items across longer samples of text using appropriate pronouns. Nikki has
developed her writing stamina and the speed in which she writes where she is able to
complete writing within the prescribed time. Moving forward, Nikki must remember to
proof-read and edit her writing to ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation are all
accurate. Nikki continues to work hard in her spelling program where she has been working
with words that have Greek and Latin roots. She always completes her Word Study activities
to a high standard and often finishes her Word Study early. Nikki has become a much more
active participant during whole class discussions/tasks sharing her thoughts, opinions and
work where her input often stimulates other students’ thinking. During guided reading
sessions Nikki has developed her ability to answer inferential questions and is able to gain a
deeper understanding of the texts she reads.

Mathematics E E

Nikki works hard during maths lessons and is able to master different concepts quickly.
She is able to transfer knowledge and skills from one concept to another. Nikki can
measure the perimeter and area of shapes using the appropriate unit of measurement
for both. Nikki can also describe the properties of quadrilaterals, triangles and 3D
shapes which helps her to classify them. Furthermore, she is able to identify the nets of
some 3D shapes, as well as, create her own nets to build various 3D shapes. Nikki
worked well in the construction of angles, can clearly identify the different types
according to their properties and can accurately measure angles. She has showed
improvements when working with fractions where she can order unit fractions and
solve problems which require her to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Nikki
has displayed a good understanding of the foundations of algebra and can successfully
find an unknown value in an algebraic expression. Furthermore, she can also write her
own algebraic expressions from given worded scenarios. Moving forward, I encourage
Nikki to continue to work on her problem solving skills, as well as, to take on extension
tasks/tasks of a higher degree of difficulty.

Business + Economics G G
(Ms Andrews)
All Year 6/7 students have explored and developed an understanding of business and
economics knowledge and the concepts related to starting up a business. Students
participated in the Kidpreneur Challenge where they had to work in business groups to
develop a business idea and structure, create their product and market their business.
Students had to develop and demonstrate collaboration, communication, teamwork,
critical/creative and reflective thinking skills, as well as, the ability to create ideas.

Science & Technology (STEM) S G

(Mr Beveridge and Class Teacher)

Nikki can describe how energy can be generated by renewable means and how
electricity can be transferred through circuits. She has confidently contributed to
group design tasks and solved problems throughout the design engineering
process. Nikki can draw on evidence to support her conclusions and communicate
her ideas and findings using correct scientific language and representations.

Physical Ed S S
(Mr Dale)

Nikki is starting to demonstrate control and accuracy when performing specialised

movement sequences as seen when playing table tennis or badminton. She
enjoyed working closely with friends during a rally and this helped her develop a
fluid backhand strike. Nikki now needs to progress to adding spin to her shots to
make it harder for her opponent to return the ball. She always works positively
with peers and contributes effectively during team games.
Performing Arts S G
(Mrs Beveridge)
Nikki is a respectful audience member and a confident dancer, picking up dance steps
quickly and moving in time to different beats as required. She has demonstrated a sound
understanding of how to play different musical instruments using appropriate tempo, pitch,
dynamics and expression. Nikki can play musical compositions using different forms of
notation and has successfully researched a dance practice from a different culture.

Teacher Comment
Nikki has continued to work very hard across all curriculum areas. She consistently
strives to do her best and improve in any way that she can. She continuously seeks
out challenges which will extend her. Furthermore, Nikki sets high standards and
goals for herself which she achieves through hard work, self-motivation, focus and
determination. This work ethic and positive attitude towards her learning sets a
good example for other students. Nikki’s participation in class discussions/tasks
has increased where she no longer needs a prompt to join and share her thoughts.
Nikki takes on responsibilities and performs her duties to the best of her abilities.
She has developed her leadership skills further through her leadership role of
Discovery Centre Leader. This leadership role, as well as the time she has spent
working with our younger buddies and participating in the Kidpreneur Challenge,
has helped her grow in confidence to work collaboratively and share her thoughts
with others. Nikki’s performance and progression this year will allow her to have
an effective transition into High School next year. Nikki has been a pleasure to
teach and I have appreciated her sense of humour, conversation skills and our
mutual love for sushi! I wish Nikki all the very best for High School next year.
