The following useful documents are available on our website here.

• The Secondary Assessment Procedures outline our approach to the assessment of individual tasks and to reporting on student achievement to parents.
• The DC Secondary ARR Structure 2023-24 outlines the structure of reports throughout the year and the relevant deadlines.
• The MYP Assessment Guidance Handbook contains important information on how achievement grades are determined for each subject in the MYP. 
  • For Semester Reports, teachers analyse summative assessment grades based on subject-specific criteria and use ‘best-fit’ approach to award levels of achievement.
  • A “best-fit” approach means teachers consider all available evidence and use their professional judgement to determine the IB published descriptor that best describes a student’s performance and award a final MYP 1-7 grade.
  • For Semester report cards, most subjects can and should use multiple summative assessments for EACH of the four criteria, with various formative assessments helping inform “best fit”.

• The DP Assessment Procedures outline how overall achievement grades are worked out in each subject of the DP.

Reminder in relation to academic awards: 

MYP Secondary Awards 

At the end of the academic year, to recognise student achievement in different aspects of learning and education and to align with the DC outcomes and vision, students may be awarded a variety of awards including academic achievement.

Students in Years 7-11 who achieve 51 or more points out of 8 subjects (maximum 56 points) on the MYP final 1-7 grade scale will receive Academic Achievement Awards at the end of the academic year. The award recognises their outstanding academic achievement across all eight subject groups during the academic school year.  To be eligible for an academic award, students must achieve a minimum of 51 points in both semesters. Please note that the points will not be averaged across semesters. For students admitted in January, only Semester 2 grades will be used.
