Parent/Carer-Teacher Conferences

Parent/Carer-teacher conferences provide valuable opportunities for the teacher, student, parents and/or carers to share and learn more about the student socially, emotionally and academically. The meeting is to:

• - Meet and get to know each other 
• - build a positive relationship
• - share information about your child's interests and learning
• - talk more in-depth about your child's report

When are conferences scheduled and how to make a booking

Parent/Carer–Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday June 24th from 11:00am – 7:00pm. This is a pupil-free day. Bookings are open and can be made through Sentral. Conference times are pre-set at 15-minute intervals. This allows for approximately a 10–12 minute conference plus swap-over time. 

Preparing for the Conference

• Arrive on time. If you are unable to attend, please remove the booking via Sentral or call the office at 9786-1555.
• Read your child's report before attending
• Speak to your child, ask them if they have anything they'd like you to talk about
• Let the teacher know of any changes in circumstances in your household
• Prepare a list of questions based on the report, behaviour etc.
• Take notes so you can share the information with your child
• Assume positive intent. Your child's teacher is a professional and has his/her best interests at heart

After the Conference

• Keep in regular contact with the teacher
• Follow-up on any agreed plans 
• Tell your child what was discussed and talk about ways you can work together to improve their learning 

We look forward to seeing you!
