Communication
The fostering of a healthy, constructive home-school relationship is especially important. We welcome your involvement in your child’s education and will actively promote it by keeping you informed, both through written communication and an ‘open door’ policy which welcomes discussion, comments and suggestions.
Parents are invited to participate in special activities or functions that are held through out the year. Teachers welcome the assistance of parents in classroom activities such as listening to reading, assisting with maths, art/craft and accompanying students on class visits or camps.
Parent-Teacher Interviews
Matters of concern are usually best clarified by direct discussion. If you require an interview with a teacher please phone to make an appointment. The teaching commitment of staff members will not be interrupted for interviews/calls unless exceptional circumstances exist.
General enquiries, and any complaints, should always be directed to one of the administrative staff.
Primary Reports
A full report on each child in Years 1 – 7 will be issued at the end of each semester. Kindergarten and Pre Primary parents receive a portfolio that encompasses work samples from each semester. Open Days are held during the year and parents are welcome to make an appointment at any time to discuss their child’s progress with the classroom teacher.
Newsletters
School newsletters are issued on assembly days as a means of conveying information about forthcoming events, to report on happenings and to obtain parent permission for student participation in various activities.
Assemblies
Assemblies occur on a regular basis each term. Their main purpose is to acknowledge student achievement and to communicate information. Dates and times for assemblies are advertised in the school newsletter and Term Planner. Classes take turns to organise and conduct these events, and to present an item. All parents and community members are welcome to attend.
