CLUSTER AND EXTENSION CLASSES
At St John’s all classes offer Quality Differentiation Teaching enabling all students to access the full range of grades (A - E). Our data indicates the opportunity to further challenge our more capable students. It is for this reason that we have introduced a number of cluster and extension classes in Stage 4 and 5. Students have been placed in these classes based on their literacy skills in Year 8, their English, HSIE and Science grades for Year 9 and 10. Mathematics in Stage 5 continues to have two identified top classes. These groupings allow all students to unleash their full potential.
YEAR 7-11 PROGRESS REPORTS
Please be advised that the Year 7 - 11 Semester 1 Progress Grades have been published to the Compass Parent Portal. The purpose of these reports is to give a snapshot of how your child has settled into Semester One. There is opportunity to further discuss your child's progress including any available grades with your child's teachers at the parent, teacher, student conferences this Term.
