How to write good report card comments

A good comment is specific, kind and tells the child what to do next. Avoid copying the same sentence for every student.

Strong performance: 'An excellent result. Keep up the focus and help classmates who find the work difficult.'

Average performance: 'A fair result with room to grow. More practice in weaker subjects will lift your grades next term.'

Weak performance: 'This term was difficult. With extra reading and regular homework, I believe you can do much better.'

In the system, a comment is suggested automatically from the student's average, and you can edit it before printing.
