A few reminders:

 Select (Excluded) in all assessment areas (comment included) if a vic curric level was not taught or
completed by a student AND the student is not to receive a subject report
 Use excluded in an assessment area only if no assessment is given for the assessment item but a report is
still to be issued – a comment should reflect this.
 Reports autosave
 Remember that in the in the drop down for entering vic curric levels there are several DNP (did not
participate) options. These relate to the following and should only be used in consultation with Team
leaders/ Coordinators:
DNP-EX Exemption from a Curriculum Area – the student participated in a targeted intervention program
instead of a curriculum area or was on an approved extended absence during the reporting period, and has a
personalised learning plan in place.
DNP-LE Late enrolment – the student was enrolled in the school towards or at the end of the reporting
