Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held next Tuesday 20th July 2021 from 3.10pm to 7.30pm. These conferences are an invaluable opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers and further explore their progress this year. It is also helpful to gain insights from the teachers regarding feedback, strategies for improvement and any other considerations that may assist your child in developing their abilities even further.

During Week 1, you will receive an email outlining the process for booking conferences. Please ensure that you book only one conference timeslot for each of your child's teachers, even if they are the teacher for more than one subject. This will allow us to maximise opportunities for teachers to meet with as many families as possible.  In the meantime, please take the time to review with your child their Report Card, which was issued on the last day of term, as well as their ongoing progress. It is helpful to engage in the work they have completed in class, the evidence of their learning in Seesaw – including feedback from their teachers – as well as the information they can share with you about their learning. Good questions to ask, at any time, are:

• How did you go/how are you going with your learning?
• How do you know that this is how you are progressing?
• What are you doing to improve/which strategies are you implementing to improve in your learning and progress?
• How will you know if your strategies are working?

Learning dialogues are effective in engaging all partners in your child’s learning so it is helpful to make this a habit or routine in your home. We look forward to seeing you on 20th July in our Sports Performance Hall for our Conferences.
