reporting to parents
Staff are available to meet with parents, outside of the staff
meeting schedule. Parents are advised to make a time with the class
teacher or school staff in advance. Morning meetings can be made but
must be finished by 8:45am for teachers to be on duty.
Meeting days depend on staff and their days of working at the school,
and are decided at the beginning of each year.
Term 1
Junior class teacher will coordinate a Prep Information session in term
1 to explain the Prep program to parents.
A junior and senior class information session will be held early term 1, to enable students, staff and parents to meet and greet and discuss how the classroom will operate for the year. Expectations will be raised regarding homework (reading), attendance, behaviour management.
Term 2
In the last week of Term 2, a full mid-year Student Progress Report
(using the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s
Report) will be provided to parents that is reflective of their child’s
student achievement for the first half of the year, in core learning
subjects.
Term 3
At the end of Term 3, parent/teacher interviews will be conducted on a designated parent/teacher interview day.
Term 4
At the end of Term 4, a full end-of-year Student Progress Report (using
the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s report)
will be provided to parents that is reflective of their child’s
achievement in all areas for the year.
naplan tests
Students in Years 3 and 5 participate in Naplan testing each year. Families of students involved in this receive a standardized report which gives additional information regarding student achievement.
homework
Homework activities will be supported, encouraged or set by teachers so that learning related to class programs and/or the children's other interests can take place outside of school hours.
Encouragement from parents is vital and teachers will take steps to make sure that parents understand the reasons for the scope of these home learning activities.
