Student Support Group Meetings
Student Support Group (SSG) meetings are being held on Wednesday 3rd April between 3:00pm and 7:00pm for all Primary and Secondary 7-10 classes (apart from SSO and SKH who will hold their meetings on Monday 29th April). SSG meetings are an essential component of the partnership between school and home in supporting the education and growth of your child. It provides an opportunity for you to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss your child, their social and learning needs and the goals to be established for Semester one. It also provides an opportunity for our Secondary aged students to share with you the personal learning goal they have written for themselves.
SSG meeting bookings will be open through Compass on Friday 22nd March.
Please login to your Compass Parent Portal to make a booking. If parents/carers do not have access to Compass, you may phone the front office and one of our office staff will make the booking on your behalf.
Bundoora Campus: 9467 3972 or Watsonia Campus: 9432 7978.
If you are unable to attend on Wednesday 3rd April, please contact your child’s classroom teacher to arrange an alternative time.
On Monday 1st April, you will receive a copy of your child’s Student Learning Plan (SLP) which will outline their proposed semester one learning goals so that you have time to look at the goals and think about questions or feedback you have for the SSG meeting.
