Reports

Report portfolios are sent out in term 2 and 4 for students. 

• The portfolios contain a graph showing where your child sits in relation to the New Zealand Curriculum Levels for Reading, Writing and Mathematics. 
• The portfolios contain samples of work including written language, art and  mathematics.
• If the children have been swimming that term there is a record of their attainment.
• The students complete a self evaluation of how they are meeting the key competencies of
• Managing self
• Relating to others
• Participating and contributing
• Thinking
• Using language symbols and texts
• There is a place for teacher and principal comments. We expect that parents make a comment, sign the portfolio and return to school. At the end of their time at Balclutha Primary school your child is given all of the relevant portfolio contents over the years.
• Students get a brief report on how they are coping after six weeks at school and students in year 1,2 and 3 get a report after one, two or three years at school. This often coincides with the term 2/4 portfolio.
