Site Improvement Plan - Writing
At times during the term, teachers are released for Training and Development. Last week teachers and undertook on training and development in Brightpath.
Brightpath is an innovative assessment process that uses typical classroom writing tasks to:
- develop teacher’s assessment skills
- help teachers differentiate learning
- provide teachers with teaching points based on how they have assessed their students.
Brightpath enables teachers to compare their students’ writing with a set of calibrated exemplars to judge performance. The accompanying software provides immediate reporting. Teachers’ judgement data can then be used to evaluate student growth in learning and to inform school programs.
Brightpath facilitates the collection of school-wide writing data to support rigorous evaluation of both teaching and learning. This data can be used to support assessment for, of, and as learning.

- live in a household with others that are deemed vulnerable to COVID-19 and are not able to attend on advice of their medical practitioner (medical certificate/letter required)
- have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been required to self isolate by SA Health.
