2025 Mid-Semester Reports
The 2025 Mid-Semester One Reports for all Years 7-12 students will be available via PAM from 2:30pm Friday, 4 April. These reports will provide you with an insight into a range of classroom work habits for each subject studied by your son, as well as any assessment results that he has completed.
Next term, parents will have an opportunity to meet with any of their son’s teachers regarding issues identified or raised in the Mid-Semester report through the Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews that will take place on Thursday, 1 May and Tuesday, 6 May from 4pm. More information and booking links for these interviews will be communicated with parents shortly.
Parents can also contact the teacher(s) via email using the teacher email link in PAM. Alternatively, parents can phone the College on 5331 1688 regarding other possible contact options.
