At Beaumaris North Primary School, we believe that a quality education for all students will essentially be supported by regular monitoring of school and student performance and the reporting of results to students’ parents, School Council and the Department of Education. The school’s assessment practices promote positive attitudes towards student learning and links programs with expected student outcomes.

Our assessment program ensures that teachers use a variety of strategies and texts to evaluate student performance.

• Includes the development of cumulative record of student progress, Prep. to Year 6, including work samples, test results, report copies, diagnostic test results.
• Assists in the diagnosis of students’ strengths and weaknesses and suggests strategies for improvement.
• Encompasses the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each student.
• Involves parents in a co-operative partnership in student learning.
• Ensures that every student is assessed according to individual needs.
• Will use profiles to record the progress and achievement of each student.
