This information will help both teachers and whānau clearly see what students can do and identify their next learning steps. SMART is designed to support twice-yearly assessments in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. It is not a high-stakes test like an exam, but rather a low-pressure tool to provide a clear snapshot of each student’s learning and progress. This will be completed during students’ regular class time. Want to know more?
