Assessment Plan

Parent Gateway Notification Number: HGV2024/021

15 Jan 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Thank you for your support and partnership in your child’s/ward’s learning and growth in Hillgrove Secondary School. Assessment for and of Learning is important as the teachers work with your child/ward over the course of the year.

The 2024 Assessment Plan provides an overview of the school-based assessment structure in our school, and we seek your support in monitoring your child’s/ward’s learning.

To strengthen holistic development and explore emerging and engaging pedagogies, the school adheres by Ministry of Education’s guidelines on assessment. There will be no Mid-Year Examination for all levels. One weighted assessment (WA) per subject per school term, with the exception for modular subjects, will be conducted.

Assessment for modular subjects (Lower Sec D&T and FCE) are conducted on a semestral basis. These measures will help free up curriculum time for the students to explore strategies to deepen students’ engagement, help them become more self-directed in learning and develop 21st Century Competencies.

It is important that your child/ward commits to the daily assignments and homework given. Though not weighted, these assignments are formative and important in consolidating his/her learning and identifying learning gaps for corrective actions to be taken.

Thank you for working with us to support your child/ward in his/her learning.

In partnership with you,

Mrs Helen Tan-Lee

Principal

Hillgrove Secondary School
