Principal's Report

Student Led Learning Conferences

At Upper Ferntree Gully Primary School we aim to give the learner increasing responsibility and ownership for their learning so they can develop into independent, life-long learners. One of the best ways we could involve the students in their own learning is to have them conduct and participate in a ‘Student-Led Conference’.  This means that each child conducts a discussion with a family member/s  and be part of the discussion group.

A ‘Student-Led Conference’ is an authentic way to encourage the students to take responsibility for their own learning, actions and decisions.  This process also demonstrates to the students that we positively support their learning and acknowledges the value we place on their views and the respect we have for their opinions.  It also clearly demonstrates that, together, we will support their learning and celebrate their achievements.

There will be conferences in term three to speak to your child's teacher. Please note that if there is some matter that parents particularly want to discuss without their child’s presence please make an alternate appointment.
