NSW - Downloading Semester Reports for Individual Students

A student's online progress summary page is a summary of all the learning content from the start of the year up to the current date. Schools can decide which pages' content will appear on this summary by making the page visible on the student report page - see Editing Page Settings

Semester Reports are a printable PDF report that schools are able to download and save/print. They are created by a school's Hero Administrator. Semester Reports use the online progress summary page settings of the school at the time the Report was generated, and can be downloaded for individual students or for the whole school.

VIEWING SEMESTER REPORTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT

1. Navigate to the student profile and click on their pop up menu

2. Click SEMESTER REPORTS

3. Here you will see a list of any available reports, including timeframe they are for and the date that the report was generated on. The report content will reflect the settings of your Hero site on the date that the report was generated. 

Click the PDF icon next to the report that you would like to view, print or download. Your report will open in a new browser tab. To print or download the report snapshot, use your browser options.

4. The Semester Report includes the following data, if it was included on your school reporting settings on the date the report was generated:

• a cover page including the School name and logo, student name, profile image, year level at the date of the snapshot and the dates of the report period.

• the report description as found in 'What can parents see?'

  

• an attendance summary table for the report period.

  

• Learning posts - media (videos, slide shows etc) or files attached to the learning posts will be displayed via a QR code. If viewing the report online, you are able to click on this to view the content.

• Curriculum content progress, goals, assessments and supporting comments. 

  

  

• Progress is shown as a table, rather than the graphs available in the Hero app.

Note: If you see a refresh button in place of the PDF button, there may have been an error during the generation of this report. Click the button to generate a new PDF report for this period. The report will be created with your current site settings.

ON-DEMAND SEMESTER REPORTS

A Hero Administrator also has the option to generate a snapshot for a specified report period on demand if required. On-demand reports will include content consistent with your report settings as at the time of generating the report.

Once generated, the report snapshot will be available for all staff members to view, print or download.

1. Navigate to the student's semester reports as per steps 1-3 above.

2. Click Timeframe Dates to select the timeframe that you would like to generate reports for. The 'Timeframe' selector uses the school's Alternative Assessment Reporting Timeframe dates - Setting an Alternative Assessment Timeframe.

3. Select the required timeframe. If you do not have an Alternative Assessment Reporting Timeframe set up, or if you require a different date range, enter the start and end date that you require.

4. Click GENERATE NOW

5. Your Semester Report will open in a new browser window and appear in the table below. From the table, click the PDF button to view, download or print your report as per step 3 above.
