Reporting
Reporting is, for most Grades, carried out three times a year. The chart below outlines reporting timelines. For all Grades, a report on academic achievement is sent home in December, April and in June. Report cards in December and June express the student’s achievement in terms of an IB level and a percentage grade, which represents the degree to which students have achieved the learning objectives set out in the Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines. Student-centred interviews are held in October and February which both students and parents attend.
TRAIL Mail – “Taking Responsibility and Action for Independent Learning”
Email is used extensively to report on student progress throughout the year. TRAIL allows the parents to be informed with respect to how a student is performing, and gets students in the habit of taking responsibility for their performance and reflecting on their learning skills. Students are instructed to send home emails (TRAIL) with respect to their progress in each subject, with a copy to their teacher and homeroom teacher.
