Subgroup Analysis: |
Year 4 |
||
Year 8 |
Commentary: |
About three quarters of the year 8 students described their shell well or very well (compared to half that proportion of year 4 students). There was no meaningful change in performance between 2002 and 2006. In general, girls performed better than boys at both year levels. |
