Dear Parents and Carers,
The Year 12 Semester 1 Report is available for you to view and download on the Parent Lounge in TASS.
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, and Learner Profile grades.
For subjects where a mark is available there will be a mark, cohort average (mean) and ranking based on his assessment task(s) for each subject completed up to this point.
Further information about how your son has performed in his cohort is available via the Parent Lounge Analytics. This area provides a box and whiskers graph that allows parents/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.
