Upcoming Events – Action needed

A list of things we need parents and carers to do to ensure their student can attend events, camps or excursions

Student Support Group Meetings & Student-Led Conferences

We’d like to remind families that if your child has recently had a Student Support Group (SSG) meeting, there is no need to also book a Student-Led Conference (SLC) this term.

SSGs already cover student progress, goals, next steps, and—where possible—include the student’s voice in the conversation.

Parent–Teacher Interviews at Trafalgar Primary run as Student-Led Conferences, with students taking the lead in sharing their learning and goals with their families. Students are encouraged to attend both SLCs and SSGs, as these conversations are most powerful when student voice is included.

From 2026 onwards, when SLC bookings open in Term 1 and Term 3, there will be a reminder included for families not to book if an SSG has recently been held.

Thank you for supporting our focus on student-centred learning conversations and helping us reduce duplication for both families and staff.

WE WANT OUR PARENTS / CAREGIVERS / GUARDIANS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results to assist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open online from Monday 18 August to Friday 19 September 2025.

All families are invited to participate in the survey.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones.

The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages including Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese. Resources are also available in additional languages to assist parents / caregivers / guardians who speak a language other than English at home. Please reach out to your child’s teacher, or the school directly for survey guides in your language.
