Reporting to Parents

We currently send two reports home a year and we have two learning conversations. What are the key things you would like to see in our written reports, for example, the key competencies: managing self, thinking, signs symbols and texts, participating and contributing and relating to others; acknowledgement of effort as well as progress and achievement, reporting against all curriculum areas , e.g., art and music.
