Guidelines for filing in Report cards: Remarks Section

The objective of the Remarks section is to provide more information to the parents about their child’s performance and attitude. It may include constructive feedback on how to help the child. The remarks should be in complete sentences as this is a formal report.

1. Include information on the child’s performance/attitude to work and peer interaction, her interests, etc. to project a ‘holistic education’. Do not limit to just pupil’s academic work.

Lee Peng is a hardworking girl who never gives up. She has shown improvement in her studies, and has achieved better results this term/ semester.

She is a friendly and intelligent girl who exhibits leadership ability. She has performed her duties of class monitor very well.

2. Find something positive to say so that the overall effect is “encouraging”.

Avoid the “This is good but..” syndrome.

X A pleasant girl. However, she needs to work harder and pay more attention in class. She is weak in English, Maths and Science.

XXX has done well but is still capable of better results. She shows interest in her work. However, she needs to be more attentive in class.

3. Do not write one-sentence remarks.

4. Make sure that the comment makes sense in the context of the results. If necessary, elaborate a little to clarify your comment, e.g. if the child has Band 1s, writing the one comment, “She needs to work harder”, is not appropriate.

5. The target readers are the parents and not the pupil. Do not mix up the target readers, i.e. begin talking to the parents and end up talking to the pupil. It does sound like we are telling the parents what to do, e.g.,

Χ Michelle is a quiet and well-behaved pupil. However, her command of the English Language could be improved. Read more during the holidays. Work harder.

Χ Grace is a friendly pupil. Her grades have improved tremendously. Keep up the good work! [Continue to work hard!]

6. Do not write only negative comments or those that imply the child is weak.

Χ She should try to pay more attention in class. She should read more books to improve her command of the English Language.

7. Do not make any comments that suggest criticism of the parents.

Χ Michelle is a polite and helpful pupil. She needs extra coaching at home in order to improve his results.

Χ Lee Peng needs home supervision in her studies. 8. Check for accuracy before printing or handing in the slips:

Typographical errors, e.g. words without spacing “Heis”; “He can do better..”

Grammar, e.g. “he should read widely to improve (his) English.
