Leader of Learning and Teaching

It is hard to believe the term is over!
It has been so pleasing to have our College engage in face to face learning for the entire term. I personally wish to congratulate all our students and staff on the way they have supported each other and engaged in their learning this term in light of the isolation interruptions that we continually face.
Our Term culminated in our Years 7 - 11 Interim Reports and Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences on Wednesday Night.
The Interim Reports are aimed at providing parents and students with early feedback on students learning progress and application. These reports also provide a conversation topic for the Conferences.
I am pleased to say close to 1000 conferences took place between parents, students and staff! If there were staff members that parents were unable to meet with due to absence or any other reason, below is a list of staff email addresses. I encourage you to email teachers if you would like to discuss the learning progress of your child and/or arrange a Zoom or phone conversation.
