                           at Wallaroo Mines Primary School

Baseline data is a means of gathering information which when collected and analysed can
be used to identify learning strengths and needs within the class and across the school.

   - Years 3, 4, 5) Year 4 use both tests.

3. During Term 4 for Spelling using the:
      • Westwood Spelling Test (South Australian Spelling Test) (suitable for Year 3

4. For Maths at the start (following swimming lessons) and end of each year

6. We also collect
     • SHIPS data through…………..
     • Vision Testing as required

Testing needs to be completed by the end of Week 6, Term 4, so data can be recorded
in Excel spreadsheet in J/Common/testing/current year in preparation for the school
review day.
Chronological Age information and a class Summary Sheet will be placed in teacher trays
by end of Week 5 Term 4.
Written test and test summary sheets are to be kept in the classroom Literacy and
Numeracy Resource Folder or an alternative location recorded in folder stored in each
classroom’s Policy Box for at least one year.
SEA results are kept in the school files. The class teacher will keep the test results and
pass onto the next class teacher. Twelve months after testing the tests will be disposed
of.
