Archdiocesan Religious Education Tests

We have received the results of the Archdiocesan Religious Education Tests in Years 8 and 10, which were held in week 2 of term. We have received the results electronically this year, much earlier than we normally receive them, which is most helpful!

 

I can report we are significantly above average in both years, as has been the great tradition at the College. Our department continues to be a leader in Religious Education in the System and a model of best practice. 

In Year 10 we achieved 11 High Distinctions, 59 Distinctions, 74 Credits and 28 Participation certificates. We had 172 students sit the test with an average of 32.9/50, while the Archdiocese average was 30.1/50. Our highest score was 47/50.

In Year 8 we achieved 10 High Distinctions, 77 Distinctions, 78 Credits and 17 Participation certificates. We had 182 students sit the test with an average score of 35.6/50, while the Archdiocese average was 31.8/50. Our highest score was 46/50.

 

Each student will receive a certificate,  a report with a breakdown of their results into the strands with a comparison to the Archdiocesan average, and a page with the analysis of the question with content area assessed, question number, their answer, the correct answer and a percentage of how the cohort performed in that question. These hard copy results will be sent home via PC today. 

 

I would like to thank all the teachers of Religious Education both this year and last year for their work to ensure these fantastic results, and also that the curriculum is delivered with passion and academic rigour. I especially would like to recognise those students who achieved High Distinctions.  This is an amazing achievement and the students should be very proud.
