Looking Towards 2026
The first week of the school year for 2026 looks like this:
The school year will begin with scheduled 'Getting to know you" learning conversations on Thursday, January 29th, 2026.
We are focussed on building relationships with every learner. As teachers, we are experts in education but families know their children far more deeply than us. We also know that when parents/carers and teachers work in partnership, learners thrive and their performance is enhanced.
We completed assessments in November and December this year that remain relevant to begin the 2026 year so we are not spending more time doing assessments with students as their first experience of school in the new year. We have also introduced a detailed student handover process so our priority to begin the year is to provide an opportunity for a learning conversation.
The learning conversations are an opportunity for teachers to get to know your child better, through you, their parent or carer who knows them best.
They will take place on Thursday, 29th January 2026 from 8:30am - 6:00pm for students in Years One to Year 6.
Prep students attend school on this day until 12pm so appointments are available with Prep teachers from 12:30pm - 6:00pm and then on the following day Friday 30th January from 12:30-3:30pm.
Students will attend the 15 minute conversation for the first 5 minutes and then move to the learning street to participate in some group activities. This enables the parent/carer and teacher to have a further 10 minute conversation.

Bookings are OPEN and CLOSE @ 4pm on Wednesday, 28th January 2026.

Some discussion starters you make want to consider for the learning conversation include:
What are your child's strengths and interests?
What motivates your child to do their best?
Are there any particular challenges your child is facing?
How would you describe your child's learning style?
What are your hopes and expectations for your child this year?
Is there anything specific you'd like the teacher to focus on?
How can we best communicate throughout the year?
What is the best way to reach you?
Are there any specific concerns you have about this school year?
How can we work together to create a positive learning environment for your child?
What are your thoughts on homework?
What does the teacher need to know to best teach your child?
Any medical/health concerns?
Friends and social connections?
Regular out of school activities your child participates in?
Before/after school routines?
