Communication Guide 

We are here to support you and your child with any concerns/questions you might have. To streamline communication and ensure all concerns/questions are addressed promptly and effectively, please adhere to the following process.

FIRST Point of Contact: Transition Support Teacher 

Your first point of contact should be your child’s Transition Support Teacher. This staff member teaches your child for three periods a week and will develop a strong, positive relationship with your child. The Transition Support Teacher is you and your child’s ‘go to’ person for support. Their contact details will be available at the beginning of the school year. 

Please download the Transition teacher contact list here:

SECOND Point of Contact: Year Level Leaders

Your second point of contact should be your child’s Year Level Leaders. The Year Level Leaders oversee their cohort of students and are responsible for supporting both students and teachers. The Year Level Leaders will respond to incidents that have arisen at school as well as respond to questions/concerns forwarded from the Transition Support Teachers. Where required, the Year Level Leaders will triage incidents and questions/concerns to the appropriate Leader of Middle School. 

THIRD Point of Contact: Leaders of Middle School 

Your third point of contact should be the Leaders of Middle School. The Leaders of Middle School work closely with the Year Level Leaders to provide appropriate supports and resolve incidents relevant to their portfolios. Please find their email addresses beneath their photos, above.

If you are unsure, please contact the General Office for assistance.
