Opening Night - Thursday 3 September

Senior School Reports
Students in Years 9-12 will receive their Term 3 subject reports (TCE and IB Year 12) or Progress Checks (Years 9 and 10, and Year 11 IB) on 9 September. The email will include a link to the booking site for Learning Conferences.
Some teachers will request or require an interview and we strongly encourage parents to take this important opportunity to work with teachers to support the student’s learning.
Even when an interview is optional, this is a great chance to discuss progress, ambitions and how to set up your child for success.
For further information contact Kate Baldry or your child’s tutor.
