Celebrating Franklin – Connections with Tumut High School

Franklin Public School and Tumut High School continue to forge a strong relationship to ensure a smooth and successful transition of students into high

school. The Middle School program has been a foundation of this success, with both staff and students recognising the effectiveness of this program. Franklin

Public School, have also had the wonderful opportunity to engage and support Tumut High School’s variety performance recently. Students appreciated the

talents and efforts of all involved.

REPORTING TO PARENTS Semester 2, 2017

Report time is approaching and teachers will be busy gathering information about your child’s progress to date.

When you read your child’s report take the time to read it carefully, as they are set out differently from the

grades you might remember from your school years.

The new A to E grades indicate whether your child is ‘on track’, and learning what is expected, doing better than

expected or needs more help.

C means that your child is ‘on track’ in relation to what he or she is expected to learn. Other grades will

indicate whether your child is doing better than expected or needs more help.

The Board of Studies has developed the following descriptions of achievement for use by all NSW schools.

A - Outstanding achievement: The student has an extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In

addition, the student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations.

B - High achievement: The student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and

skills. In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.

C - Sound achievement: The student has a sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate level of

competence in the processes and skills.

D - Basic achievement: The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a basic level of competence in the

processes and skills.

E - Limited achievement: The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in few areas of the content and has achieved very limited

competence in some of the processes and skills.
