Getting-to-Know-Your-Child Chats - Week 6
Purpose: To meet one-on-one with your child's teacher, build a relationship between parents and teachers and share information about your child. These sessions are one-on-one to allow you to share information that is specific to your child. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the discussion, children should not attend these Chats. As Prep parents have already met with their teachers, these Chats are for Grade 1 - 6 families only.
Topics of discussion may include:
- Your child's attitude to school
- Family situations
- Your child's interests and passions
- Your hopes for your child in 2021, and more.
Note: This is not a traditional half-year Parent-Teacher Interview where staff give information to parents about academic progress. The information in these chats comes from you.
P.E., STEAM, Music and Mandarin:
Specialist teachers (teachers of P.E., STEAM, Music and Mandarin) will have bookings available for families who wish to share information with them. This may include families of students who play instruments outside of school, students who want to compete in sporting events, etc. or any other reason. These bookings are on a first-in basis.
Bookings:
All sessions must be booked in advance on Compass. Bookings are open now. Most sessions will be on Thursday afternoon (March 4) from 3.45pm – 7pm. There will also be sessions available throughout the week (March 1 - 5) with each teacher.
