Student-Led Conferences | Tuesday 7th March
We welcome our families to our Student-Led Conferences to be held next Tuesday 7th March 2023. These conferences provide an opportunity to have your child lead you in: engaging in personalised conversations regarding their learning and progress; gaining insights from the teachers regarding feedback and opportunities for improvement; identifying strategies that may assist them in achieving success in their learning. Please note the following information:
Date: Tuesday 7th March 2023
Time: 3.30pm to 7.30pm

Please follow the marked entry and exit pathways and the relevant directions from the carpark. A waiting area will be available in the Amphitheatre. Refreshments will be available for purchase at the Canteen. The Learning Hub will be open until 4.00pm, as usual, if students are awaiting the arrival of their parents/guardians.
Conference Sessions
All sessions will be 10 minutes in length, which will include time to transition between conferences. A warning bell will sound after 9 minutes to facilitate efficient movement between conferences.
Booking a Session
Bookings will open tomorrow, 9am Tuesday 28th February. Please follow the link below to make bookings with teachers. When you enter the booking page:
1) Identify the teacher with whom you would like to schedule a conference. It is important to note the first AND last name of teachers to ensure you have scheduled a conference with correct person/avoid missing out on a place. Please be aware that some teachers may contact you directly requesting that you book a conference with them. This contact will be made via email, so please continue to check your inbox. Please note, we have a Collette Wilson (WILSCO) and a Courtney Wilson (WILSC0) who work at the College, so when booking either of these teachers please check you have booked the correct teacher as their names and codes are very similar. Additionally, Tania Noskoff will not be available for a booking this evening - please contact Tania via email at tnosk1@eq.edu.au to arrange a time to meet or conference over the phone.
2) Select a time marked "AVAILABLE" (this will appear as a small green button on the right)
3) Click on the + to add your booking, then complete your details.
Please finalise your bookings by 9am on Monday the 6th of March. Please remember to bring a copy of your booking schedule with you.
Please ensure that your child attends these conferences with you. We ask that students bring their iPads with them so they have the opportunity to share evidence of their learning and progress during the session. Please also bring a pen.
The Fusion Years and Senior Schooling
An information session titled 'The Fusion Years and Senior Schooling' is being provided to families on the night of student-led conferences, and will focus on understanding the Queensland Certificate of Education and our vision for senior schooling at Foxwell. To support you in attending the conferences as well as this session, we will repeat the information sesssion. The first session will run at 4:30pm and the second session will run at 6pm, in the junior lecture theatre.
We value the opportunity to engage with you as partners in your child’s learning journey and look forward to seeing you next Tuesday. Should you be unable to attend on the evening, please contact your child’s teacher/s to make alternative arrangements.
