Our school uses the Sentral on an online student learning management system for reporting to families

Important Information:

  • You must be registered for Sentral to view your child/ren’s report. 
  • You can register for Sentral at any time. If you require support to register, please contact the school office on 52551340.
  • A link is available on the homepage of this website called ‘register for Sentral’ that provided direct access to the process.


Sentral Continuous Reporting Comments
Part of our assessment and reporting to families involves continuous reporting comments in Sentral. All students will receive  comments about their learning during the term. Families will be notified by email when a comment has been entered. Each student should receive approximately a minimum of nine comments per term. The maximum will vary depending on the individual student and their individual needs. It is important that you read these comments as they replace the majority of teacher comments that will be entered on the published school report at the end of the semester. 

How is the curriculum organised?

The Victorian Curriculum has been written so that when a child is in Year 2, they are working toward Level 2 etc. Each level outlines one years’ worth of learning as shown in the ‘I Can…’ statements on the Trackers for each year level. The ‘I Can…’ statements have been divided into two semesters. This report reflects only one semester’s growth in learning. When dividing the ‘I Can…’ statements into two semesters, we used our curriculum planning documents to separate them based on the topics and content that would be taught in semester one and semester two. Our teachers are responsive to the learning needs of our students, therefore some of the skills in the trackers in semester one may not be reported against until semester two and vice versa.

How are we reporting to families?

These June student reports are the beginning of the transition to our ongoing reporting system. This will mean that for some students, their achievement levels may not move this semester because teachers are now required to align their final mark more closely to the individual skills, knowledge and content expected at each level. This is the result of the AusVELS curriculum being finalised and our school’s work in translating this into student friendly ‘I Can…’ statements. It does not mean the students have not learnt, rather, they have been working on demonstrating each skill leading up to their current level. 

What do student reports include?

Each student report will include:

  • Information page containing: Where to find areas for improvement and future learning on Sentral (Trackers)/potential school support activities/suggested home support activities.
  • A-E grades.
  • Teacher general comment.
  • Progression point (dot) for each core subject area.
  • Progression point (dot) and subject overview for each specialist subject area along with a comment.
  • 7Cs of learning progress.
  • A list of school activities your child has participated in throughout the semester.
  • Attendance up until Wed 14th December.
