This semester, students are engaging in regular formative assessments across Mathematics, Science, HASS, and English to support their learning progress. These tasks are visible on Canvas under the ‘Formative Assessment’ label and are designed to help students monitor their understanding before final assessments.

Many of the tasks are self-marking, providing instant feedback and helping students identify both their strengths and the areas they need to work on. This regular feedback loop supports academic growth and encourages a proactive approach to learning.

Parents and carers can also view these tasks, offering a clear window into their child’s progress throughout the term. Formative tasks are not graded but are essential in preparing students for summative assessments later in the semester.

We encourage families to check Canvas regularly and have ongoing conversations about learning goals and academic achievements.
