NSW - Downloading Semester Reports for the Whole School

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

GENERATING SEMESTER REPORTS

1. Navigate to Semester Reports in the Administration Menu

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. You will see a progress bar, indicating the progress of report generation. Depending on the size of the reports, this process can take some time. You are safe to leave this screen as the reports generate - the process will continue until complete.

Note: If an error occurs during the generation of the reports, meaning one or more is not created fully, you will see a red ! alert icon. Click the refresh button below to re-generate the reports for this period.
