Learning Conversations Term 4

Our final Learning Conversations evening for 2020 will be occurring on Monday 19 October from 3.30pm until 8pm. This is an excellent opportunity for parents/caregivers and students to meet with subject teachers to discuss progress and learning goals for the remainder of the year. Parents and caregivers who have been accessing their student/s results on Canvas will be well placed to know if they want to make bookings. Individual subject teachers will also be requesting parents/caregivers to book time slots. This information, along with further booking information, will be emailed to parents and caregivers early in the first week of next term. If you do not wish to attend in person, you are encouraged to make contact directly with the subject teacher using phone or email to arrange a time to talk via phone.

 

Please keep this date free in your diary and have a conversation with your student about their successes and challenges throughout the year. The continuous feedback provided to students and parents by having access to results on Canvas should prove a valuable starting point. From there, conversations can really develop about what students are learning in classes, what they have enjoyed, their achievements and what they would like to do in the coming term to ensure their ongoing progress and improvement.

 

I encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity for us to work together to ensure the success of all students.
