Assessments

In addition to the homework your child might be assessed on, there are a number of other ways that learning is assessed at St Columba’s College:

• Tests with multiple choice, short answers and long answers

• Essays and reports

• Written reports during lesson time

• Oral presentations

• Exams (from Year 9)

Your child will be notified ahead of time regarding assessments and assessment dates, to allow for any necessary practice and preparation.

Assessments are also a good tool to identify any areas where your child may require more practice or further support. (Refer to Student Handbook, page 29).
