Years 7 to 11 Parent / Teacher Interviews and Student Academic Reports

As mentioned in last week’s issue of the Especean, by Friday 21 June, the Semester 1 Reports on students of Years 7 through to 11 will be available online to parents/carers via the TASS Parent Lounge.

The Year 11 Parent/Teacher interviews will be scheduled for the evening of Monday 24 June from 3:40 PM to 9:00 PM. The Years 7 to 10 Parent/Teacher interviews will be scheduled for the afternoon and evening of Thursday 27 June from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM and on Friday 28 June from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Parents/carers may book interview time slots themselves via the TASS Parent Lounge using the interview tab from 5:00 PM, Wednesday 12 June. The College will not be allocating interview times. 

Parents/carers need to ensure Year 11 interviews are booked by no later than 9:00 AM, Monday 24 June and Years 7 to 10 interviews are booked by no later than 9:00 AM, Wednesday 26 June.

All interviews will be conducted on site. The Year 11 interviews are for 6 minutes, and the interviews for Years 7 to 10 are for 5 minutes. There is a two-minute break between each interview to allow the interviews to run smoothly. Please note that parents/carers cannot double book a teacher for a longer interview. Should more interview time be required, parents/carers may arrange with the teacher another mutually suitable time.

There is an expectation that parents/carers will book interviews with all their sons’ teachers. There is also an expectation that students are present for the interviews.

For parents/carers encountering difficulties logging on to the TASS Parent Lounge, please contact the College’s IT Department via College Reception on 02 9763 1000.

If for any reason a parent/carer needs to cancel or change a booked Year 11 interview time after 9:00 AM Monday 24 June, please contact the relevant teacher via email. Similarly, for a booked Year 7, 8, 9 or 10 interview for a change after 9:00 AM, Wednesday 26 June.

The Semester 1 Report is an opportunity for parents/carers to discuss their sons’ progress with their teachers but more importantly to discuss strategies and recommendations for improvement over Semester 2.

I encourage all Year 11 students to use their time wisely during the upcoming mid-year break and not let the time pass without having done substantial preparation for the Year 11 examinations commencing Monday 2 September.
