Focus on Learning

Semester One Learning Conversations

The end of the first semester is fast approaching and the students are to be congratulated on all of their hard work over the last two terms. Teachers have been busily preparing the Semester One Reports which will be made available to parents via the Compass app on Friday 11th June. Please contact the school office if you do not have access to the Parent Portal on Compass and they will be able to assist you in setting this up.

In Weeks 9 and 10, parents are also invited to attend a Learning Conversation with their child's classroom teacher/s. This will be an opportunity to discuss any areas of learning from the report, as well as looking at some work samples that your child has produced during Semester One and discuss learning goals for Semester Two. Students are encouraged to attend these meetings to discuss their learning with their parents and teacher.

To book a Learning Conversation appointment with your child's teacher, please log into the Compass app on your device, click the hamburger menu button at the top left (three horizontal bars) and then select 'Conferences' from the menu that slides open. From there you will be able to view the Learning Conversation bookings, select your child/ren, select their teacher/s, and choose a timeslot that is suitable. You will be asked to confirm the booking at this point. Please contact the school office if you are having any difficulties in booking a Learning Conversation appointment. Bookings will close on Friday 11th June at 3.00pm.

Please note: due to teacher absence, parents of students in 6G and 6S will have Learning Conversations in Weeks 2 and 3 of Term 3. A separate booking cycle will be opened for this at the beginning of Term 3.
