Parent Information
We
encourage parents to contact their child's class teacher. the
Assistant Principal or Principal if they have any concerns, or are in
need of assistance or support, with regard to their child’s academic,
social or emotional progress. Early in Term 1 we have Parent
Information Evenings and "Getting To Know You" parent/teacher
interviews where we hope ALL parents will attend.
At the end of Terms 2 and 4 we provide parents with our "Report
Package" which consists of: the written report, the student's portfolio
and a parent/teacher interview. Students in Level 3 and 4 are
required to be
active participants in the interview. The staff are experienced,
enthusiastic and work harmoniously to deliver the best educational and
supportive environment to all children. Teachers, in consultation with
parents, will develop Individual Learning Improvement Plans for
students where necessary.
