CTMS Summary 2010 Variance Report to the School Community

The 2010 Variance Report details National Standard achievement in Reading, Writing and Mathematics for students in Years 1 -8 at CTMS. A
full report was presented at February 24 BOT Meeting. A copy of the report is available for parents/caregivers at the school office.

In establishing a level, teachers have used a number of assessment tools to determine an Overall Teacher Judgement (OTJ) for each student
in Reading, Writing & Mathematics.

The following results summarise the achievement of students at Mid-Year and End-of-Year assessments. Student achievement is identified in
the following categories; ‘at risk’, ‘towards’, ‘at’ or ‘above’ the National Standard.

The following graphs summarise student achievement across the school in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. A brief breakdown of the results
is given for each curriculum area.

The achievement results have supported the school in identifying areas for improvement and planned actions for lifting student achievement in
Reading, Writing and Mathematics. Planned actions for lifting student achievement have been outlined in the schools 2011 Strategic Plan.
