Optional End of Year 2025 Parent Teacher Interview letter

Letter from the Director of Learning and Teaching

14  November 2025

Dear Parents/Carers

The College will be running optional Parent, Teacher and Student Conferences for Years 7-11 to discuss your son’s learning. These will be held on Tuesday 16 December 2025. The College will be offering two different modes of delivery. Zoom meetings can be booked between 10.00am-1.00pm and face-to-face appointments are available between 2.00pm-6.00pm.

An important part of learning at Marist College Eastwood is feedback that will inform students on

how well they are progressing with their learning goals. Often this will afford an opportunity for

affirmation of your son’s efforts so far. 

Optimal learning performances will be achieved by students who:

  • Reflect critically on their learning goals and lead the discussion on strategies to enhance

their learning.

  • Seek feedback from their teachers on ways to improve their achievement in all future

assessment tasks.

  • Attend all scheduled classes and engage with the classwork in every lesson.
  • Complete all assigned classwork and homework and seek feedback on the quality of the

work.

  • Ensure that time is spent each day on exercise and relaxation, or stress-reducing activities.

All Parent/Teacher Conferences will be booked via Compass. The Compass portal will be open

to make bookings for interviews on Wednesday 10 December at 8.00am and closes Monday 15 December 9.00am. To book interviews please login to Compass, select the Community tab and then select Conferences. Zoom links will be made available closer to the meeting day.

Yours sincerely

Ms Melissa Williams                                  

Director of Learning and Teaching
