Three Way Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews in September

On Tuesday 5th September and Thursday 7th September, Parent Teacher Interviews for Term 3 will be held.

 

This term, we are conducting Three Way Parent-Teacher- Student Interviews for students in Prep to Grade 6. This means that the teacher, student and parents are involved. This has been proven to enhance a student’s learning. Last year we trialled it with one year level and found it to be successful

 

As a result, the Parent Teacher Interviews will run slightly differently with the student actively reflecting on their goals and progress, and parents and teachers openly discussing feedback, encouragement and structuring targets collaboratively. 

 

Each child will provide information to clarify what they have learnt and students will share what they have been learning and are proud of, as well as what they found challenging and what is the next goal they wish to work on for Term 4.

 

The teachers will facilitate the interview and guide the student/parent through the process. Throughout the interviews parents and the teacher are encouraged to ask questions, provide feedback and encouragement to the student and to share their thoughts and ideas on what is being presented and on what goals or targets they think are appropriate.
