Curriculum & Assessment


Greensborough College is a school that is small enough for students to be known and cared for but large enough to offer a variety of curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. 

 

In Years 7 and 8, students undertake core year-long and semester-based subjects and our Enrichment Program. Academically able students are offered a place in our High Achievers Program. 

 

In Years 9 and 10, students start to develop pathways and have the opportunity to make choices about their subjects in our elective program. Students can choose subjects they are interested in to further develop their skills.

 

In Year 10, students have the opportunity to complete a VCE, VM or VET (Vocational Education and Training) subject.

 

In  Year 11 and 12, we offer a wide range of VCE subjects from all disciplines allowing students to choose their subject areas of interest to help them excel. We also offer VCAL and VET subjects.

Assessment & Reporting

 

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING

 

Greensborough College endeavours to provide a reporting system that ensures parents and carers are frequently informed of their child’s educational progress in a timely manner. 

 

Continuous reporting is the process of reporting regularly throughout the year. Parents and carers get an up to date, timely snapshot of what their child is learning and how they are progressing throughout the year.

 

Continuous reporting at Greensborough College consists of three key components: 

  • Progress Reports distributed each term, which allow parents, carers and students to see how academic performance is linked to well-developed ‘Learning Behaviours’. 
  • Continuous feedback on Common Assessment Tasks which include an assessment rubric and/or comments on achievement and improvement.
  • Summary Reports at the end of Semester 1 and Semester 2.

 

 

How does the Continuous learning, assessment and feedback process work?

  • Curriculum Maps are distributed to students and parents at the start of each semester, outlining the units of study and assessments for each subject.
  • Units of study are taught in class. Assessment and feedback opportunities are provided throughout the unit and teachers track learning progress.
  • Learning tasks are set by the classroom teacher on Compass. These can be ‘formative’ (assessment during the unit of study) and ‘summative’ (end of unit assessment).
  • Students complete the CAT/SAC for the unit of study and submit.
  • The teacher assesses the student work.
  • The teacher notifies students and parents that feedback is available on Compass and discusses feedback in class.
  • Parents and students access Compass Learning tasks at home and discuss the feedback given.
  • Parents are encouraged to follow up with teachers if they have any concerns.
