You can pick and choose how you use these ideas, but here’s my suggested format for a general comment:

1️⃣ Positive introductory sentence e.g. Jeremy is a diligent student who is eager to share his knowledge on a range of topics.

2️⃣ Overall progress e.g. He has made significant improvement across all Key Learning Areas this semester.

3️⃣ Can Do/Areas of Strength e.g. Jeremy completes tasks thoroughly and with quality in mind. He is always willing to use feedback to improve the quality of his work.

4️⃣ Working Towards/Next Steps e.g. Jeremy is building his resilience in social situations, and is learning to negotiate roles when working in small groups.

5️⃣ Interests/Achievements e.g. He has shown particular interest in gymnastics lessons this term, with a consistent dedication to improving his skills.

6️⃣ Final comment (you might borrow from the Areas of Strength section again, and ensure you touch on social skills if not covered previously) e.g. Jeremy often supports his peers and celebrates his achievements. He is commended for his strong work ethic this year.
