Parent Communication

Formal Reporting and Parent Interviews

• Ongoing feedback of assessment marks through SEQTA.
• Two formal reports per year (Term 2 and Term 4).
• Three-way Parent/Student/Teacher Transition Interviews for Year 7s at the end of Term 1 and the beginning of Term 3 with the class teacher.
• Year 7 Parent Open Classrooms announced throughout the year.

Avenues of Communication

We value open communication between parents and the College. The first line of communication is through the Student Diary, or by telephone or email. In addition to this, there are the following opportunities:

• An Orientation session in the year prior to starting in Senior School for parents of Year 7 students
  • This involves a general introduction to the College and what is required at the start of the year.
• Years 7 and 8 Parent Information Evenings are held early in the school year.
  • Year 7 – This provides specific information for the year and gives parents an opportunity to meet the classroom teachers in their classrooms.
  • Year 8 – This evening provides information to parents regarding the special nature of the Year 8 program and allows parents an opportunity to meet some of the Year 8 teaching staff.
• The College Courieris the College newsletter published each fortnight during term time. It is emailed to all families and can also be accessed through MyASC.
• The Doveis a colourful record of some of the rich variety of activities happening during the course of the year and is provided to all College families twice a year.
• Columba is the College Yearbook, providing a detailed record of each year of College life. It is published at the end of the year.
• The College Calendar is a valuable reference for diary dates. An electronic version is available on MyASC and should be checked regularly for updates.
• MyASC is a vital source of information for activities and curriculum. All students are expected to access MyASC regularly. Parents have their own username and password.
