Parent/Student/Teacher Relationships

Parents are strongly encouraged to become active partners in their child’s education.  Great value is placed on the home-school partnership as a means of ensuring that education is a shared responsibility.

Things you can do to support your child:

At Home

• Establish a Positive Learning Environment: Create a quiet, well-lit space for studying, free from distractions, to help children focus and engage in their learning.
• Encourage Reading: Read together regularly, even with older children. Discuss stories to enhance comprehension and foster a love for reading.
• Support Homework and Learning: Guide children through their assignments, helping them understand the material without doing the work for them. This encourages independence and problem-solving skills.
• Promote Healthy Routines: Ensure children get adequate sleep, nutritious meals, and time for physical activity, all of which are essential for optimal learning.

At School and in the Community

• Maintain Open Communication with Teachers: Regularly check in with educators to stay informed about your child's progress and any areas needing attention.
• Participate in School Activities: Engage in school events, parent-teacher meetings, show support and stay connected with the school community.
• Foster a Growth Mindset: Encourage children to view challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, promoting resilience and a positive attitude towards learning.

Meetings & Reporting Times

Parent/Student and teacher meetings provide an opportunity to develop a good working relationship and discuss academic and personal learning goals.

Parents will be kept informed on a regular basis of each child's program, academic progress, attitude to school life and level of achievement. Communication with parents includes information nights, parent/student/teacher interviews and the preparation of formal reports.

Parents or teachers are free to request further parent-teacher interviews at any time. If you wish to talk at length to a teacher please contact the Principal or Assistant Principal so an appointment time can be arranged.
