Reporting is an important and integral part of teaching and learning.. Parents are offered many and varied opportunities throughout the year to receive updated information and discuss their child’s progress. Parent/teacher Information Evenings, school and class newsletters, parent/teacher interviews, interim reports, viewing and discussion of folios of student work and formal report cards are some of the ways in which staff endeavour to keep parents informed and to support the home and school working in partnership to foster each child’s development.
Parent Information Night
At the beginning of each year this night is held to provide an overview of the year. It provides an opportunity for teachers to express their expectations within the classroom, share with parents an outline of work to be covered for the year. Homework, excursions, bookwork and parent assistance are also addressed at these meetings.
Student Portfolios
