Teachers are continually assessing a student’s progress and achievements, to plan for their learning programs throughout their enrolment at PPPS. The school evaluates the assessment data to plan growth, both for the individual student and whole school improvement. Years 3 and 5 students undertake the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) in May which provides additional information to parents. PPPS provides term overviews for each year level to inform parents of classroom activities. Parents are welcome to discuss the progress of their child at any time. PPPS also provides three scheduled discussion times involving parents and students and two written reports.
