Term 3 Online Parent Teacher Interviews

Appointment bookings are now open for Term 3 online Parent Teacher Interviews. 

Following the success of the school’s remote learning program using Microsoft Teams, we have decided to utilise this platform to conduct online Parent Teacher Interviews in Term 3. 

The interviews will occur on Tuesday, 8 September from 8:55 AM to 4:20 PM, with each student allocated 10 minutes for a video conference involving parents, student and teacher using the Microsoft Teams application on the student laptop.

How will it all happen?

  1. Parents will book a 10 minute interview time with the teacher using the Compass booking system; the same process we use for the on-site Parent Teacher Interviews (A 'How to book a Parent Teacher Conference' instruction guide has been attached).
  2. Student (with parent/s beside) will setup the laptop and login to MS Teams at home prior to the booked interview time.
  3. Teachers will initiate the MS Teams meeting to the student laptop at the booked time of each interview.
  4. Parent/s and student will join the conference with the teacher via the meeting request sent by the teacher through MS Teams on the student’s laptop.
