  • Classroom assistance
  • Senior Reading
  • Library- Shelving Books
  • Contacting books- from home
  • Making or cutting resources- from home
  • R.E.- sewing- from home

**This year parents have been asked to help throughout the day in Prep-6 and the enthusiasm from parents to contribute is truly heartening! 
Next week we will send out the names of parent volunteers in your class and we ask that you contact them and arrange a day and time for them to come into your classroom for support. 
We thank you for your support in strengthening parent partnerships.
It is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

‘Get to Know You Conversations’

Hi everyone,

Please be advised that this notice has just been sent out to our families regarding the ‘Get to Know You Conversations’

Dear Families,

During Week 4, we will conduct our Term 1 Parent Teacher Interviews. They will run on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd between 3.45 – 7.45. We have re-named these ‘Get to Know You Conversations’ as they are an opportunity for the teachers to get to know you and your child and for you to get to know the teachers. The conversations are happening earlier in the term and therefore do not have an academic component to them. Your child’s classroom teacher is currently getting to know them and how they learn. Teachers will report on academic progress later in the semester.

Please use this conversation as an opportunity to share about your child’s likes, dislikes, preferred methods of learning, and anything else you feel would support the teacher in better understanding your family and addressing your child’s needs. 

We are offering both in person and virtual times for the conversations. The bookings will open up at 7pm on Monday 12th February using the School Interviews Link that will be published at that time.

Kind regards

Michael
