At Rockwell College, we keep parents informed of students’ behaviour and progress throughout the academic year.
Term Assessment Results
Following in-house examinations at Christmas and Summer, parents receive detailed term reports by post, including results, percentages, and teacher comments. Mock Exam results are also issued for 3rd and 6th Year students.
Periodic Assessments
During the year, brief assessment notes are shared via the VSWare College administration system. These focus on a student’s application in each subject rather than grades or percentages. Year Deans review each report, and follow-up meetings are held with year groups to affirm strong application and guide students who may be underperforming.
School Journal: Teachers may use the school journal to provide feedback on test results or minor disciplinary matters, or to pass on important messages.
Term Reports: Issued after Christmas and Summer tests (and Mock Exams for 3rd and 6th Year), with teacher comments on progress.
VSWare Updates: Periodic assessment notes are accessible via VSWare, ensuring parents and students remain informed and connected to learning progress.
Regular communication between parents, students, and the College helps maintain a strong connection to each student’s learning journey.
