Please find below the schedule for the Year 12 Tutorials in Term 2, Week 5. Topics covered during the tutorials include content revision, study skills, exam preparation and practice papers. These tutorials have proven extremely valuable and, while not compulsory, are strongly encouraged.

It is important that we know attendance numbers so teachers can prepare accordingly. To that end, the expectation is that students who register for the tutorial, attend. Rolls will be taken to assist us to manage the program. Should numbers fall below five, we may not be able to run that particular session.

The Year 12 Semester 1 Report will be available next week for you to view and download on the Parent Lounge in TASS. We will inform parents and carers via email when the reports are available.

This report provides an overview of your son’s performance in Semester 1 for each subject including: A-E grades for the focus subject outcomes, at least two recommendations and commendations outlining suggested targets and areas of strength for your son, Learner Profile grades and a mark, cohort average (mean) based on the most recent assessment task, and course ranking based on his cumulative assessment total so far in Year 12.

Once you log on, select the [Academic Reports] option from the menu on the left. You will then be presented with a list of available reports. In this case it will be the Year 12 Semester 1 Report, where you will be able to download a PDF.

Further information about how your son has performed in his cohort is available via the Parent Lounge Analytics. You should go to the [Student Details] drop down menu and select [Academic Analytics]. Please note, that this will be available approximately 24 hours after the release of these reports. This area provides a box and whiskers graph that allows parents and carers to view the position of their son’s mark in relation to the rest of the cohort in each subject. The box and whiskers plot indicates student groupings by quartile and median.
