Parent Teacher Student Conferences
On Monday 27 March, families will receive information regarding the upcoming Term 1, Parent Teacher Student Conference, via Compass.
This is an opportunity for you and your child to meet with your child's teacher to discuss their academic progress, learning goals, and any concerns you may have.
During the conference, the teacher will provide you with detailed information about your child's academic performance, including their strengths, areas for improvement, and strategies for helping them succeed. Your child will also have the opportunity to share their learning goals and discuss any challenges they may be facing in school. Together, you will work to create a plan to support your child's learning.
The conference is a valuable chance to build a strong partnership between home and school. By working together, we can ensure that your child receives the best possible education and support to reach their full potential.
The Parent-Teacher-Student Conference will be held on Wednesday 5 April from 4pm to 7.30pm and will resume on Thursday 6 April from 9am to 12.30pm. Interviews will be held in the Oak Centre or families can access these online. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Year 7 Choir
We are excited to invite your Year 7 child to join our school choir this year! The school choir is a fun and rewarding activity that allows students to develop their singing skills, make new friends, and showcase their talents.
If your child loves to sing, the school choir is the perfect opportunity for them to express themselves and improve their vocal abilities. No matter their level of experience, they are welcome to join.
In the school choir, students will learn to sing in harmony with others, develop their vocal range and control, and build their confidence as a performer. They will also have the chance to participate in performances and events throughout the school year, showcasing their talents to the school community and beyond.
Being a part of the school choir is also a great way to make new friends and form lasting connections with your fellow students. Students will work together as a team, learn from each other, and support each other in achieving their musical goals.
If your child is interested in joining the school choir, please encourage them to attend our first meeting, which will be held on Monday 3 April at 12pm in the Music Room. We welcome all students who have a passion for singing and are willing to work hard and have fun.
