Academic Reports
There will be a temporary alteration to the way that parents receive their reports at the end of this semester. Due to some technical issues at the end of last year, we have taken the decision to print all reports and distribute them directly to the students. Years 7 -11 will be receiving their reports this term via their mentors during House periods. The table below outlines the reporting types for Term 1.
| Year group | Report type | Contains |
| 7-10 | Progress | Attitude & effort |
| 11 IBDP | Progress | Achievement, attitude & effort |
| 11 HSC | Full | Grades, ranks, achievement, attitude & effort, pastoral comment |
As Year 12 are currently completing assessments they will receive their reports in early Term 2.
A reminder that the more specific feedback on student work within subject areas can be accessed via your child’s CANVAS courses. Below is an excerpt of information sent previously by Ms Schmidtke our Director of Digital Learning and Research
We have prepared resources to support your access and navigation of the platform. You can access Canvas HERE. For first-time users, you will need to select ‘Forgot Password’. We have created this guide to help you. Our comprehensive ‘Canvas for Parents’ training site offers detailed information about how to access teacher feedback.

Year 7 Poetry Slam
The 2025 Cranbrook Year 7 Poetry Slam was one of the best yet. This dynamic, high-energy spoken word competition took place in the esteemed Packer Theatre, a fitting venue to celebrate students’ creativity and self-expression. Nominees from each class delivered outstanding performances, captivating an audience of students and staff. The judging panel consisted of five randomly selected students and five staff members. In a tie for third place were Charles Liang (W), Kiran Jarosch (Hv), Xavier Mancuso (S), and Oscar Martinez Tevfik (C); second place went to Leon Canturi (Hw); and our highest commendation and congratulations on first place to Alex Pontifix (N). Congratulations to our place-getters and to all students who took part in the event, and to Mr Sinclair and the English team for their stewardship of this wonderful event.
