Northcote High School
Reminder for Families
Our Parent Teacher Student Conferences start this week.
Thursday 31 August conferences are online via Webex
Staff WEBEX links can be found through the booking portal. Please use this to access the online room for your meeting. Teachers will leave you in the virtual waiting room until your appointment time.
The infographic below outlines how to connect with teachers via their online WEBEX rooms .
Friday 8 September conferences are face-to-face onsite at school
- Staff will be allocated a classroom during the meeting times.
- The day before the interviews there will be a Compass Newsfeed with a list of all staff classrooms and a school map. Please use these to plan your route around the school.
Supporting keeping to time
As appointments run back-to-back, it is important that the conversations keep to time. To help this, each conversation will last 7 minutes. Teachers will let you know that they are setting an audible alarm at the start of the conversation. When it goes off, this is the signal that the allotted time is up. The teacher will then need to finish the conference so that they can move to their next appointment.
Please be understanding of this and support our teachers in keeping appointments running smoothly. If a longer conversation is necessary following the appointment, please ask the teacher if you can arrange another time outside of PTSC to speak.
Other important information:
- Regular classes will not run on PTSC days. Students should continue with existing tasks and are encouraged to participate in the Conversations.
- Teachers will not be available to answer emails/other communications on those days, as they will be occupied with the PTSC.
- The day before PTSC there will be a Compass newsfeed listing any staff who are away and cannot make their PTSC. This will be updated on the day with any late changes.
