Abstract

As school wraps up, families around Australia will be receiving their children’s school reports for the second half of 2024. This is the key way schools communicate with parents about how students are going. But parents can find them difficult to understand. Why is this? And what are some questions you could ask your child’s teacher before the end of the year to understand how they are really going?
