Annual School Reports (ASR)

The 2009 ASR cycle maintains the increased autonomy and greater flexibility for schools in the preparation of their reports that was established in previous years.

Principals and school self-evaluation committees have the opportunity to develop more localised presentations of the ASR within the guidelines of the statewide framework.

As in 2008, schools have the option for the 2009 ASR to:

1. adopt the 2009 departmental template provided;

2. modify the template; or

3. develop their own format.

Irrespective of which formatting option a school selects, the mandatory reporting elements must be addressed.

The primary method for distribution of ASRs to parents in 2009 is through publication on the Internet. Schools will lodge their ASR on the school website or  another secure location that will be notified to parents.

Schools are advised that the 2009 ASR MS Word template and support materials can be accessed through the DET Intranet.

Information pertaining to the 2009 ASR cycle mandatory requirements and printing reimbursement is available to staff through the DET Intranet.

Information for Parents
