Student-Led Learning Conversations – Book Now via PAM

As part of our commitment to student voice and ownership of learning, we are offering 10-minute Student-Led Learning Conversations between students and their teacher on Thursday, 7 August. This is a valuable opportunity for your child to share their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and set future goals in a one-on-one conversation with their teacher and family present.

Bookings are essential and can now be made via PAM. Please note that these conversations are led by students and are distinct from parent-teacher interviews. We encourage all families to support their child by booking a time.

For guidance on how to book please read the attached document.
