As per previous communication, Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held next Tuesday 20th July 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.

The online booking system for you to arrange conferences with your child’s teachers, particularly those who have requested an interview via your child’s Report Card, can be accessed via this link.  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. It is worthwhile booking interviews as soon as possible as teachers’ schedules fill up quickly. Please note that the following teachers will not be available for conferences on Tuesday:

• Tania Noskoff
• Marnie Shillig
• Racquel Wilson (we also have Ms Collette Wilson on staff. Please ensure that you are booking with the correct teacher)

All bookings must be made by 12.00pm, Monday 19th July. After this time, families will need to contact teachers directly to schedule an appointment for another date.

Should you wish to discuss your child’s progress in these teachers’ classes, please contact the Head of Department of the particular subject area. You are welcome to book interviews with Semester 1 teachers of your child, even if they will not be continuing with that subject (such as an Art elective) or with that teacher (due to a change in teachers) in Semester 2. A conversation focusing on learning behaviours and strategies for improving progress can translate and be meaningful across teachers and subjects.

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. Please note that our canteen will be open with cold and hot drinks and snacks available for purchase.
