Writing in long sentences makes it harder for parents to understand your message.</p> <h2>Comment banks or pre-prepared comments</h2> <p>The use of comment banks and pre-prepared comments is a school-based decision. Report comments should be based on an informed individualised professional judgement to a parent/carer regarding their child’s areas of strength and areas for development. It is important to ensure that the comments are personalised for each student.</p> <h2>Student’s name</h2> <p>Students official name should be used in a comment, unless approved by the parent/carer and the school principal.

First-person closing sentences such as “Congratulations, Dari!” should be avoided.<br /></p> <p></p> <h2>Comment guidelines<br /></h2> <p></p> <p>Teachers’ comments describe the skills and knowledge demonstrated by the student as evidence of academic progress. As such, reports should refrain from discussing student behaviour unless it is relevant to identifying areas of strength and development, or the student’s commitment to learning.

She can read maps to determine location, direction and distance. Daria now needs to interpret the data using geographical terminology and to draw conclusions to her findings. We will continue to work on those areas next semester in our Geography lessons.</p><p>In English, Mohammad contributes enthusiastically to class discussions about texts and presents his opinions with growing confidence. He continues to increase his knowledge of more complex letter-sound relationships and shows sound skills in blending these to read and write multisyllabic words. Mohammad reads aloud with developing expression and adequate volume. He has many interesting ideas for writing. His handwriting, however, makes his writing difficult for others to read.

He understands the design process and is developing his skills in technical drawing. He is always happy to help classmates and offers up his ideas in class discussions. Amir finds it challenging to follow detailed instructions. Consequently, he has not completed projects within the allocated timeframes. Amir’s accompanying portfolio could have been improved with more detail and description of the manufacturing steps. With greater concentration and focus on teacher instructions during practical lessons, Amir can improve these results.</p><p><a href="/content/dam/main-education/inside-the-department/leading-educational-continuity/documents/reporting/sec-2022-reporting-to-parents-and-carers-sample-comments.docx">Additional KLA specific sample comments (staff only)</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="showhide-v2 aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div class="gel-show-hide"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header"> <h3 class="gel-show-hide_title"> <a class="gel-show-hide_link collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#showhide66322026" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="showhide66322026"><i class="vertical"></i> <span>English as an additional language/dialect </span> </a> </h3> </div> <div class="gel-show-hide__content collapse" id="showhide66322026"> <div class="card-body"> <div> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"><div id="text-4520319818" class="cmp-text"> <h3>Primary example</h3><p>This sample report comment demonstrates how a Year 5 teacher has included their English as an additional language/dialect (EAL/D) English language proficiency reporting requirements in the general comment at the end of the report.</p><p>Mabior’s English language proficiency has been assessed using the EAL/D Learning Progression at the Developing phase.

This commitment to increasing his fitness, also contributed to him representing the district in the multiclass shot put and discus events for the first time. Using the speech-to-text function on his iPad, Blake has been able to complete his project on being active every day. Blake needs to use his self-regulation strategies every day to manage his emotions when feeling overwhelmed in the playground. By practising these strategies, (for example., counting to 10, 3 deep breaths or moving to a quiet zone), he would then be able to use these when he begins to feel anxious.</p><h3>Secondary</h3><p>This sample comment demonstrates how a teacher could report on the adjustments made to support a student with disability in the secondary setting.</p><p>Adelaide has shown consistent effort and application in science this semester. She has investigated ‘Chemical Change and Ecology’ and made a positive start in her student research project. She has a sound understanding of the concepts taught in science, including the properties of different elements and the physical states of matter. Working with school support staff and visual aids, Adelaide can safely conduct an experiment and report her findings to the class. She should continue to use Auslan to develop and support her understanding of concepts, particularly as she finds verbal conversations exhausting. Adelaide reads for meaning and often asks for clarification on subject matter and/or vocabulary that she is not familiar with. Adelaide would benefit from continuing to use all available resources to build her knowledge of scientific terms.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="showhide-v2 aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div class="gel-show-hide"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header"> <h3 class="gel-show-hide_title"> <a class="gel-show-hide_link collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#showhide50951783" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="showhide50951783"><i class="vertical"></i> <span>VET hospitality</span> </a> </h3> </div> <div class="gel-show-hide__content collapse" id="showhide50951783"> <div class="card-body"> <div> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"><div id="text-66bd1d2cb0" class="cmp-text"> <p>Paulina collaborates effectively with peers to complete tasks to a high standard in the kitchen environment.
