FIRBANK SCHOOL APP

New families will be provided with login details and information about accessing The Portal and the Firbank App in the week prior to their child commencing at Firbank. Until parents receive their login details, they will not be able to access The Portal or sign in to the Firbank App. Prior to new parents having access to the Portal or Firbank App, all Firbank correspondence to new families will be sent via email.

ASSESSMENTS & REPORTS

ONGOING ASSESSMENTS
At Firbank we have ongoing assessment tasks. These vary according to the subject and can include topic tests, assignments, oral tests and practical tasks.

REPORTS
Interim online reports and detailed semester reports at the end of each semester are delivered via the Portal.

During the year, all Year 7 students:

  1. Complete compulsory NAPLAN assessment
  2. Undertake testing in literacy and numeracy in order to assist the School to identify strengths and weaknesses in these two vital areas of the curriculum.
  3. Participate in a variety of mathematics, science and language competitions.

THE PORTAL

All parents have password protected Portal access to view their child’s academic progress.
Once parents receive their login credentials to the portal it is essential they immediately reset their password by selecting the My Account tab on the main menu bar. A student’s individual profile on the Portal contains a list of all subject teachers with an easy-to-use link should you have any subject-related questions or concerns.
