End of Year Reports
End of year student reports will be available to parents this Friday afternoon after 4pm in your Compass portal. Please take some time to read and discuss this report with your child to celebrate their learning journey throughout this year and their goals as they transition into 2026.
The end of the year written report and parent teacher interview form part of our formal reporting process to parents throughout the year, but parents are reminded that they are welcome to contact their child’s classroom teacher at any stage during the year to discuss their child’s learning. The best way to do this is to contact your child’s classroom teacher via their Compass email, or direct school email.
Homework
The homework that was sent home last Friday and is due back at school this Thursday, is the final lot of homework for this year. Once this has been marked by the child’s classroom teacher, homework books will be sent home.
Many thanks to all parents and carers who have diligently supported their child/ren throughout the year in completing homework tasks, including home reading, it is very much appreciated.
‘Meet the Teacher’- 2026 Transition Session
As part of our transition of students between year levels, on Friday, December 12th, all students in years Prep- 5 will spend some time meeting with their new teacher/s for 2025.
On this day they will also be given a letter from their new teacher/s that will contain information about what the new school year will bring, as well as the teacher’s email contact information.
Students will bring these letters home at the end of the day on December 12th, so please keep an eye out for it and contact your child’s current classroom teacher if you do not receive a copy, as this is how parents and carers are informed of who their child’s teacher is for 2026.
