Term Overviews
Each term teachers provide Units of Inquiry and curriculum overviews to explain the program for the coming term. In term 1 of each year, the school holds a Parent Information Evening to present the overview for the term with reference to ongoing programs. Families are welcome at any time to discuss the teaching, learning and assessment cycle with teachers.
Reporting to Parents
Hughes Primary places great emphasis on regular communication with parents on student progress. Our regular posts through the online platform Seesaw ensure a dynamic learning loop between students, teachers and families. We provide many formal reporting opportunities throughout the year and we encourage parents to maintain constant contact with their child's class teacher. Please do not hesitate to contact class teachers or the school regarding specific information concerning your child's education at Hughes Primary.

A to E Reporting
If a child demonstrates the knowledge and skills taught for that year level, then the child would receive a C grade.
If your child achieves a grade higher than a C grade, it means that they are demonstrating knowledge and skills in advance of those in their year group.
If your child achieves a grade lower than a C, it means that they are not demonstrating the knowledge or skills that is expected of the children in the year group.
A to E grades are school specific and cannot be compared between schools because the knowledge and skills set for each year level is specific for the group of children at each school and this may vary from school to school.
Interviews
Interviews with teachers, Student Referral Team or members of the School Leadership Team may be arranged at any time throughout the year via written, e-mail and/or telephone requests or personal contact with teachers, the principal or the front office.
