Over the coming weeks, Queensland parents will notice that school reports have changed - for the better.
That's because new plain English report cards have been introduced, making it simpler for parents to understand how their child is performing.
All Queensland schools are giving parents the straightforward report cards which measure a child's achievements using a five-point scale, whether that is A-E or another similar scale.
The report card, for state school students in Years 4-10, details the areas being studied and the student's achievement, behaviour and effort.
It also gives parents a better idea of how their child is progressing by setting out student achievements for each learning area against what is expected for that time of the year, using the ratings A, B, C, D and E.
But the A-E grading process won't apply to state school students in Years 1-3. Reports for these youngsters will focus on their development rather than a grading. Their parents will receive a different report card with five ratings - Very High, High, Sound, Developing and Support Required.
