As part of our annual monitoring and assessment schedule, during weeks 2-4 of this term, we will be conducting the Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT). These online assessments are for Year 2-10 students, with Year 1’s taking part in a trial in preparation for Year 2 in 2020. The tests include content such as: writing, reading, comprehension, spelling, grammar and punctuation.

The results from the assessments assist us in monitoring student growth and teacher impact to inform our teacher practice and school planning.

If you have any questions in relation to PAT, please feel free in contacting: Matthew Perry matthew.perry@education.tas.gov.au and/or Adrian Beard adrian.beard@education.tas.gov.au (Primary Campus) and Geoff Davis geoffrey.davis@education.tas.gov.au (Secondary Campus)
