Student Reports
Teachers at Woy Woy South have been working on developing reports that align to the new syllabus being taught in all classes, as well as, ensuring that the reports are informative and written in parent friendly terms. The P and C were consulted on the format of the new version and overwhelmingly endorsed the changes as positive.
Beginning with Semester 1 2024, Woy Woy South will be providing students with a digital copy of their Semester Report. Parents can access to the digital report via access to the SENTRAL platform using their parent code previously used to access booking for parent/teacher conferences. The portal will contain a copy of the student’s report, as well as sending parents an email with the report as an attachment.
Please note that the reports will be submitted for delivery on the last day of Term 2 and 4. As this is an automated service, parents may find that there is a time lapse in the production of each set.
