Are
there sample reports
that show some different possible styles of report?
Here are 12 sample reports, these are intended to show some of the
different styles of report. What you see here is just a
sample of what is possible, and is not meant to be prescriptive or to
limit how a report can look.
Some of the samples are designed for A5 and A4 sized paper and
SM-Reports can also print on an A3 page. Actual outcomes are not shown
on the samples and instead some fake Latin is used to fill out the
reports. Any gauges are randomly filled and the numbers, range and
average may not appear to be sensible.
Each report is shown with either Arial or Times New Roman, but
SM-Reports can use any font that is installed on your system. Many
reports are printed on letterhead that includes the school crest or a
watermark, while others have SM-Reports use a bitmap of the school logo
to print on the report. No crests or logos are shown here although you
see there is often space from one in the top left or right corners.
We like to think that SM-Reports is very flexible.

Sample 1
This report has outcomes and gauges to show performance. Words are used
to represent the level of achievement for each outcome and a gauge for
the exam and assessment marks. A tick is used to indicate if an
interview is expected.
Sample 2
This report is very similar to the first, with the only difference
being the showing of an assessment rank as a number. Words are used to
represent the level of achievement for each outcome and a gauge for the
exam and assessment marks. A tick is used to indicate if an interview
is expected.
Sample 3
This cover page goes with the previous two sample reports. Showing a
list of subjects is useful for security reasons, although depending on
the amount of space available, only the total number of subjects may be
mentioned.
Sample 4
This sample report shows how ticks can be used in a table to represent
the level of achievement for the personal and the course outcomes. This
report uses A4 paper in a landscape orientation to fit two subjects per
page. If required this report could be printed on A5 sized paper. The
two subjects here illustrate how there can be variations in the marks
shown for each subject. Note also how number of outcomes is different
for each subject.
Sample 5
Reports with SM-Reports are not limited to multi-page reports. This is
a one page interim report that is typical of what is popular with years
7 and 11 next the start of the academic year. Some schools use a page
similar to this as a cover summary page for a more comprehensive report
that follows, Sample 8 shows one of these.
Sample 6
This sample doesn't have any new features except it is a single subject
on an A5 page printed in landscape orientation. While it has been shown
in previous samples, it is worth noting that the sideway printing of
the headings in the Course Outcomes table makes efficient use of the
limited space.
Sample 7
This report is a very typical sample. Ticks are most commonly used to
represent levels of achievement in reports done with SM-Reports.
Although as shown by the previous reports this is not the only style
possible.
Sample 8
This cover page shows information from the subject pages that follow.
For each subject in the table the Student Performance Level gauge is a
copy of the gauge that appears on each separate subject page.
Sample 9
Another very typical report.
Sample 10
This cover page includes the key that explains what the different
levels of achievement mean. This important information is sometimes
includes on a second cover page. Some schools use a special pre-printed
page for the cover that includes the required keys and explanations on
the back of the cover. When printing the reports, the printers is set
to print the first page of each student's report using the special
cover page from one paper bin, while printing the remaining pages for
each student with the paper from a second bin.
Sample 11
This is a report for a VET course. It has similar features to the
regular subjects, but has different types of column headings for the
competencies. The workplace requirements are also included.
Sample 12
This
is a Life Skills report that is similar to other subject pages but
has different levels of achievement and no marks.
