Assessment is an integral part of the learning process.
The information we gather informs our program
planning and delivery. It also provides us with ongoing
data that helps us to better cater for individuals and to
offer useful feedback to our students.
The assessments offered here are designed to uncover

the degree of understanding each student has achieved
in spelling, grammar and punctuation, and are written
to fully support the Language Achievement Outcomes
Standards for Year 6 outlined in the Australian
curriculum.
There are 36 tests containing 20 questions (9 tests per

term), with a longer more comprehensive test provided
for an end of term review. The assessments can be used
