Contacting Staff
Parents are encouraged to keep in contact with their child’s teacher. Your child’s teacher is the first point of contact.
You may contact your child’s teacher by leaving a message through our School Administration Office. Many of our teachers may also make use of their professional email account for communication with families. We encourage you to speak directly with your child’s teacher to negotiate the best way of staying in regular contact.
If you wish to meet with the Principal it may be necessary to make an appointment through the office.
Reporting to Parents
While our classroom teachers are available to discuss your child’s progress throughout the school year, there are key times of year when we formally report to parents:
Information Sessions (Early Term 1)
Early in term 1 all teachers will conduct an information session for parents. At this session teachers will give an overview of the year’s curriculum and events. Additionally, aspects of behaviours expectations and classroom routines will be outlined.
Parent Teacher Interviews
During Term 3 teachers are available for pre-arranged, individual meetings with parents and their child to discuss the student’s individual achievements goals.
Formal Student Reports (Term 2 & Term 4)
Formal reporting is completed in late June and early December each year.
Parents of Prep students receive a report outlining their child’s learning progress, while the achievements of students from Years 1-6 are documented on formal report cards. Follow up parent/teacher interviews are available if required.
Report cards are emailed in the last week of term 2 & 4.
In Year 1-6, student achievement is recorded using a 5-point scale (A-E)
