All middle campus courses are assessed on a semester (half year) basis even where subjects run for the full year.  Some subjects particularly in the Arts, Technology and Health & PE are semester length courses only.

Reports published on Daymap at the end of term will show the final results students have achieved in the first semester against the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP) criteria for each subject.

These results will be in grade levels from 0 to 7 with 7 being the equivalent of an A+ and 0 the equivalent of an E.

A grade 4 is considered a passing grade while a 3 shows that the student needs to do a lot of work to develop their understanding if they are to continue with the subject.

Students are encouraged to reflect on their results and consider what they need to do to improve for semester 2. They can set themselves goals and seek advice and help from their teachers.

Description of Grades

7
Produces  high-quality,  frequently  innovative  work.  Communicates  comprehensive,  advanced understanding of concepts and contexts. Consistently demonstrates sophisticated critical and creative thinking. Frequently transfers knowledge and skills with independence and expertise in a variety of complex classroom and real-world situations.

6
Produces high-quality, occasionally innovative work. Communicates extensive understanding of concepts and contexts. Demonstrates critical and creative thinking, frequently with sophistication. Uses knowledge and skills in familiar and unfamiliar classroom and real-world situations, often with independence.

5
Produces  generally  high-quality  work.  Communicates  secure  understanding  of  concepts  and contexts. Demonstrates  critical  and  creative  thinking, sometimes  with  sophistication.  Uses knowledge and skills in familiar classroom and real-world situations and, with support, some unfamiliar real-world situations.

4
Produces good-quality work. Communicates basic understanding of most concepts and contexts with few misunderstandings and minor gaps. Often demonstrates basic critical and creative thinking. Uses knowledge and skills with some flexibility in familiar classroom situations, but requires support in unfamiliar situations.

3
Produces work of an acceptable quality. Communicates basic understanding of many concepts and contexts, with occasionally significant misunderstandings or gaps. Begins to demonstrate some basic critical and creative thinking. Is often inflexible in the use of knowledge and skills, requiring support even in familiar classroom situations.

2
Produces work of limited quality. Expresses misunderstandings or significant gaps in understanding for many concepts and contexts. Infrequently demonstrates critical or creative thinking. Generally inflexible in the use of knowledge and skills, infrequently applying knowledge and skills.

1
Produces  work  of  very  limited  quality.  Conveys  many  significant  misunderstandings  or  lacks understanding of most concepts and contexts. Very rarely demonstrates critical or creative thinking. Very inflexible, rarely using knowledge or skills.
