The parent feedback summary is based only on student responses from the lodged Best Start Kindergarten Assessment (BSKA).
The Parent feedback summary:
- provides parents and carers with clear information about their child’s literacy and numeracy skills.
- provides information based on actual items assessed. - Note: not all questions and student responses are included in the summary.
Communicating with families:
Providing written feedback summary to parents and carers is optional for schools. Schools have the option to provide feedback in a way that is appropriate to their context and consistent with their existing school practices.
