MESSAGE REGARDING LEARNING CONVERSATIONS

Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

Learning Conversations will be held next week on Tuesday 10th November from 1.30pm until 6.00pm. Students will have normal scheduled classes on this day however, they are expected to attend their Learning Conversations with you. Interviews are now open to book on Compass.  All Parents, Guardians and Carers are required to book their own interviews. Information on how to book interviews with your students’ teachers is below. Interviews are 10 minutes in length and we ask you to adhere strictly to these times, in order to accommodate all people.

How to Book a Learning Conversation:

1. Log onto Compass
2. On your home screen where your student’s photo is, there will be an option to ‘Book Parent Teacher Interviews’
3. Click on this button which will take you to a timetable.
4. Select your student
5. Click on the dropdown menu under the heading ‘Time Slots’ next to the teacher you would like to meet
6. Select your time and look for the word “booked’ under the ’Status’ tab.
7. Repeat the steps above if required.

If you are unable to access Compass, or experience any problems, please contact the College Office to make your appointments on 5494 3011 during business hours.

On the day of your Learning Conversations, please enter the school from Hospital Street, come up the ramp to the BER and you will be directed to the appropriate area for your interviews.

We would like to see as many parents/carers as possible.  If your child's numeracy and literacy levels are below standard or their attendance is below 95%, expect a phone call or email requesting yourself to book a time to come in and discuss how we can improve where your child is at.

We would like your child to attend with you and school uniform is not required.

Please ensure you have read your child’s report that was mailed home at the end of term 2.  Your child’s report will be the focus of the Learning Conversation

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to ask your child's teacher - below is a list of questions you could possibly ask.

• How is my child doing at school? 
• What are my child’s strengths and weaknesses? 
• Is my child at standard? Especially for Literacy and Numeracy. 
• How can I help at home with my child’s education?
• How does my child interact with other students?
• Does my child contribute to class discussion and appear happy in the subject?
• How does my child’s performance compare to that of previous years?
