•The results.

Does not give true impression of my child's contribution, can'tsee mistakes that have been corrected by teacher orhow much assistance he has needed.-Yes, but some artwork was not very clear and it is nice to be ableto flick through a folder.Of the three computers at home only one had power point so notnecessarily everyone will be able to read thisformat.

Its easy to understand,simple,concise,effective and clear. Well doneTakapuna Primary School.its quite refreshing to see it presented that way's can see it in abroader sense.- We could see the ability of our son's computer skills andwritten/language skills.

• Comparisons help clarify Childs level• - describe the child's progress on each items in

detail, very descriptive and gives reasonableaccurate grading.

• The achievement criteria are explained clearly, aswell as the next expected level to work towards.However, there is no

• opportunity for discussion when progress ispresented in this way.

• Need to understand more clearly what rubrics is.• Gave an idea of progress but some personalised

comment could also be additional.
