School stories
The school stories featured in this section may help you, when revising your reporting processes, to ensure they are aligned with National Standards. The principal or deputy principal from each of these schools is happy to be contacted to discuss their reporting processes. You may also wish to involve your parents in a discussion about different methods for reporting, including those highlighted in these examples.
These examples show reporting processes in real schools in 2009. They include artefacts from real students and teachers. The artefacts are not exemplars. Some personal information has been removed from the artefacts to protect the identity of individuals.
This form of reporting, in which the student is very actively involved in the learning and reporting process, reflects the intent of the NZ Curriculum.
Goal setting is a key part of the broader process of learning and teaching, and therefore reporting to parents. This section provides an overview of goal setting and examples from schools.
Goal setting is well embedded in the teaching and learning process at Fraser Crescent School. Student-led conferences are an important part of reporting to parents.
At Mairehau School, student-led conferences contribute to learning-focused conversations among students, parents and teachers.
Mauku School is moving away from traditional tick box-type reports to reporting that carefully considers the child and parents.
Mission Heights Schools report to parents and students using online reporting.
Learn more about goal setting at Port Chalmers School, where students and teachers co-construct learning intentions, and use weekly logs to reflect on their learning.
At St Mary’s School, all students share their learning journeys with their parents at student-led conferences. This example focuses on learning journeys and conferences for Year 7 and 8.
West End School has been using a very successful three-way conference process for the last nine years, where the student’s portfolio forms the basis of the discussion.
