Reporting to parents and whānau is essential for developing a clear and shared understanding of children's progress, achievement, and success. Clear reporting provides parents with timely and meaningful information about the progress their child is making in line with curriculum, their strengths, and next steps. Below are our 4 key reporting mechanisms.


Attitude to Learning

The ALT Reports track and assess student engagement and growth in each subject. The goal is for students to embody and practise our SOC Tikanga and Special Character principals and values  - Open Heart, Open Hand, and Open Mind - daily. For example, students should acknowledge and include others, respect school rules, demonstrate manaakitanga by uplifting those around them, be open-minded and kind, seek ways to challenge themselves, and take responsibility for their learning.

The ALT Reports are not based on acedemic performance or test results but focus solely on the student's approach to learning. These scores are not linked to awards; instead, they recognise postive attitudes and encourage constructive conversations about learning both at home and between home and school. The 3 pillars are

3. Expected and On Track, the student consistently meets expectations and shows good effort and focus in their learning. 

2. Mostly on Track, the student is meeting most expectations and demonstrates reasonable focus in their learning

1. Of Concern, the student is not meeting effort and attitude expectations, which is affecting their learning and their peers' learning


Learning  Conversations

Purpose: Provide an opportunity for home and school to connect via your daughters’ Tutor Group teacher. This three- way conversation provides a forum for parents and their daughter to discuss what is on top for the coming year and for the school to gain an awareness of what is happening at home for this student. It allows all three parties to be in one room at one time and to identify upcoming challenges or priorities and to work together to put support in place around these.


Written Reports

Purpose: This real time reporting model provides information for parents about their daughter’s progress, achievement and work habits in the classroom. It provides an opportunity for parents to see the feedback their daughter has been given in class and enables them to have conversations about this learning while it is fresh in their daughter’s mind.


Parent Teacher Interviews

Purpose: These conversations allow parents to share information with subject teachers that they think will help their daughter’s learning. They may also seek additional information and clarification regarding their daughter’s learning if they feel they need it.  It also allows teachers to discuss issues or concerns about a student’s learning and to give advice about how parents can help from home if they feel it is needed.​​​​​​​
