Standards

Araluen Christian College has a history of excellent teaching and learning standards. In the 2013 National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy, many of our students scored above the National Average, with some achieving extremely well.

Regular College-based assessment alerts us to the special needs of students and enables the implementation of early intervention strategies.

Moderation across the College help us to know we are on track with our assessments of student progress.

Full assessment of all our Transition students in February and June helps us to pick up early when children are having problems.

Learning Support Assistants provided support for children with special learning needs, under the guidance of our Learning Support Coordinator. Sometime additional support is obtained from outside school agencies.
