Dear Parents and carers,

Semester One Reports

The teachers have been working extremely hard to draft and finalise Semester One Reports for our students.

The planned release date for the Semester One is Thursday 17th June. These have been timed so that they are available for the Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences beginning on Friday 18th June for some classes.

Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences: Week 9 and Week 10

As we do each year, teachers are very much looking forward to meeting with you to discuss the progress, achievements and areas of growth for your children. We will offer parents one late evening on Monday, 21st June as well as other times throughout the week depending on the availability of your child’s teacher.

When will the interviews take place?

In addition to Monday 21st June, the other dates that may be available (depending on the class) are Friday 18th June, Wednesday 23rd June, Tuesday 22nd June and Thursday 24th. There will be no interviews on Wednesday 23rd June for some classes and families as many teachers and families will be attending the Dance Fever Interschool Challenge that evening.

How will the interviews take place?

We surveyed our parent community last week and it seemed the narrow preference would be for meetings via Zoom or telephone call. We assume that Zoom or telephone will be the default option for all interviews and more details about how to access the interviews will be communicated to all parents via the class teachers next week. If you wish to have an in-person interview, please inform your child’s teacher prior to Wednesday 16th June.

When will bookings for the interviews open?

Bookings for our Semester 1 interviews will open to all parents this Friday 11th June at 9.00am.

How can I book my interview?

As was done successfully in 2020, you can once again access the bookings system via Compass. Once you enter the booking system on Compass, you will be able to see the availability of your selected teacher. Be aware that you may not be able to see the option to ‘Book Parent Student Teacher Conference’ until Friday morning.

Finally, we would like to invite students to participate in Parent Teacher interviews this year. Of course, it is entirely up to parents to make that decision, but from a school perspective, the students are more than welcome to join the discussions.

Please contact our school office if you have questions or concerns.

Assistant Principal.
