Within each learning area, define all the subjects that are taught as part of that learning area. For example, the SOSE learning area might contain History, Geography and Politics subjects.
For each subject, define the criteria for assessing that subject using subject assessment areas used for marking students and reporting on their progress. For example, attainment, effort, end of year exam, project, assignment and test results. See Maintaining subject assessment areas (on page ).
Assessments are maintained on the sub-tabs of the Summary tab of the Subject Assessment Maintenance window, as described below.
