Assessment Resource Centre
The aim of this website is to support and enhance professional practice in the assessment and reporting of student achievement across Years K to 12. It has been developed primarily for teachers, although parents and students will also find it useful.
Reporting student achievement using A to E
The A–E grading scale lets teachers report student academic achievement at any point in time using clear standards. Teachers will make a professional on-balance judgement as to which grade best matches the standard their students have achieved. more...
Work samples
Student work samples for Stages 1–5 on this website are aligned to the common grade scale. Student work samples with teacher commentaries have been provided for Early Stage 1. These work samples will assist teachers across NSW to consistently report student achievement against standards when using grades A to E or equivalent.

The national Excellence in e-Government Award aims to inspire Australian government agencies to excel and innovate and recognises the most outstanding initiatives of Australian government agencies in their delivery of e-government services.
