What comparative information are schools required to make available to parents?
If a parent makes a request, Australian Government Regulations require the school to provide them with written information that clearly shows their child’s achievement in the learning areas studied, in comparison to that of other children in the child’s peer group at the school. This information will show them the number of students in each of the achievement ratings. Comparative information does not need to be provided for ratings against Effort or Behaviour. Note that the privacy of individual students must be maintained in this process.
