Term 1 Interim Reports & Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences

 

Teachers are currently preparing Term 1 Interim Reports, which will be available to parents and students via Compass on Wednesday 26 March. These reports provide valuable feedback on each student’s learning behaviours and indicate whether their progress has been satisfactory across all subjects.

 

With our continuous reporting model on Compass, families can access assessment tasks and teacher feedback as they are completed. A summary of all assessments will also be included in the Semester Reports.

 

We encourage families to take this opportunity to review the Interim Reports, celebrate the achievements of Term 1 and set goals for the remainder of the semester.

Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences

On Friday 21 March, families will receive information via Compass regarding our upcoming Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences, with bookings opening on the same day. These conferences provide an opportunity for you and your child to meet with teachers, discuss academic progress and set learning goals.

 

During the conference, teachers will share insights into your child’s strengths, areas for improvement and strategies for success. Students are also encouraged to reflect on their learning and discuss any challenges they may be facing.

 

Conference Details:

Thursday 3 April | 3:45 PM – 7:00 PM

Friday 4 April | 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM (Student-Free Day)

Location: Kildare Campus

**Please note: All conferences will be held at Kildare Campus regardless of which campus your child attends.

 

These conferences are a valuable opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to reach their full potential.

 

We look forward to meeting with you.
