Learning Tasks
Current Families
Understanding where a student is at in their learning sits at the heart of the work of schools. At Preston High School, assessment, through our learning tasks, is used in three ways and shared with students and families through the online Compass system.
Assessments
Assessments provide information for teachers, students and families on a student’s level of understanding of the specific skills and knowledge covered in a unit of work. They outline performance and achievement against Victorian Curriculum levels. At Preston High School, we use developmental rubrics to provide this feedback to our families.

Milestones
Milestones are checkpoints across a unit of work. Milestones provide teachers with the opportunity to check students’ understanding and progress, and provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and identify their next steps.
Milestones are categorised as ‘Assignments’ on the Compass Learning tasks.
Homework
To support the students’ understanding of what homework is, we call our homework PPR tasks. PPR stands for Practice, Prepare, and Revise; the main activities that students can do independently or with family support.
