VIC Reporting (Seasonal)
VIC Semester 1 reporting checklist (May–June): quick compliance + writing workflow
A practical Semester 1 checklist for Victorian reports: evidence, teacher judgements, progress indication, five-point scales, and parent-friendly comments.
This page is a practical summary of publicly available guidance. Always follow your school's reporting template and professional judgement.
Quick compliance checklist
- Teacher judgement recorded against achievement standards for each curriculum area taught.
- Progress indication included (where applicable).
- Five-point scale included (age-related for English/Maths/Science where applicable).
- Comments are plain English, evidence-based, and include next steps.
Before you start writing
- Gather evidence (work samples, observations, assessments) and ensure coverage of the achievement standard focus taught this semester.
- Update/confirm teacher judgement levels and moderation notes.
- Check which learning areas require mode-level reporting (e.g., English modes; EAL modes).
While writing comments
- Use a consistent 5-part structure (achievement → progress → strengths → growth → next steps).
- Replace generic statements with one concrete evidence point.
- Check the comment complements the level score and five-point rating shown elsewhere on the report.
Final checks (fast)
- Names correct; spelling/grammar checked.
- No copy/paste identical comments across multiple students.
- No comparisons to other students; no blame language.
