Learning Portfolios

Student Portfolios are just one way we communicate student achievement to parents and caregivers. We believe this is important because:

• Samples of work will show a student's performance against SACSAF outcomes.
  
• Samples of work will show student progress over time.
  
• Samples of work collected can help identify students that require support in particular learning areas.
  
• Samples of work collected can confirm that a student has understood a particular concept.
  
• Samples of work collected can provide information about a student which the next teacher or school can use.
  
• Samples of work can be part of celebrating success with a student.

All samples of work will be annotated by teachers indicating objectives and outcomes.

Samples will be collected for Learning Portfolios as follows:

Term 1	Term 2	Term 3	Term 4
Literacy	SOSE Design	Health	PE
Numeracy	Tech	Science
Arts

Additional Samples of work and assessments can also be included in the portfolio.
These include:

• Standardised spelling, reading and numeracy test results with yearly comparisons.
  
• References to the Multiple Intelligences in portfolio samples and MI student questionnaire results (Twice Yearly)
  
• Detailed attainment reports on all curriculum areas. (Mid Yearl and End of Year).
  
• Social Skills Evaluations (Twice Yearly).
