Cluster Documents for Schools to implement in Term 1, 2007 and beyond     
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
In 2006, no spreadsheet will be used as this requires more work for staff. Primary Teachers will be required to mail photocopied transition reports ( Testing results only ) to the Educator so that Cluster Data can be collated. This should happen at the end of the year.
As Secondary Schools, don't have a Transition Report they will be required to send all photocopied Student Worksheets to the Educator. This should occur as the testing eventuates throughout Semester 1 and 2.
  
Due by - Primary Schools ( end of year ), Secondary Schools ( when testing occurs )

Implementation -
All Cluster Proformas have been updated for 2007 !!!
 
Primary Schools -
A. Testing ( 3 Cluster Assessment Tools - see below ) for the Transition Report will need to be completed by teachers for Grade 6 students. The Whole Transition Report will only be filled in for those students who are attending cluster schools at a secondary college level and teachers will need to update this document and other relevant information relating to the testing and pass this onto relevant secondary schools before the last transition visit at a secondary school for the year. Testing sheets completed by students can be put  into student files recording student time at a primary school but they must also be attached to the back of the Transition Report. In 2006 and 2007 testing will occur in each semester. The Transition Report Test Results must be sent to the Educator via mail also, so that Cluster Data collation can occur at the end of the year. This is for all Grade 6 students !!!
* If students are not attending Cluster Secondary Colleges then other schools may want different transition documents implemented. This is the responsibility of the schools, but cluster data relating to the 3 common tools is still needed !!
B. Student Passports will be completed by students in grade 6 either electronically or written depending on the resources of the school. These will also be completed at the end of the year, collected by teachers and passed onto relevant secondary schools before the last transition visit.
 
Secondary Schools -
All Secondary Schools are required to complete the 3 Cluster Assessment Tools in 2006 and beyond. The Internal collation of information is the responsibility of the school, so no information will need to be recorded on the Transition Report as this is only used for grade 6 students for transition purposes. However, all Student Testing needs to be send via mail to the Educator so that Cluster Data can be collated. This should occur as testing occurs !!
