Parent – Teacher Interviews
From the Head of the Junior School, Heidi Shvetsoff
As we continue to work together in supporting our students, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the importance of Parent-Teacher Interviews and how they play a key role in our students’ learning and development.
Parent-Teacher Interviews are a valuable opportunity for us to connect and discuss your child’s progress, both academically and socially. These meetings provide insights into what is going well in the classroom, as well as areas where additional support may be needed. They also allow us to address any concerns or questions you may have about a child’s behaviour and how we can work together to ensure their success.
Research shows that when parents are actively involved in their children’s education, students perform better academically, have better social skills, and are more confident in their abilities. Regular communication between parents and teachers allows us to create a stronger partnership, which ultimately benefits your child’s overall growth and development.
A heartfelt thank you to all of the parents and caregivers who attended the recent parent-teacher interviews, either in person or via video call. Your involvement makes a significant difference in your child’s educational experience. For those who were unable to attend, we completely understand that life can get busy! Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher to arrange an alternative meeting time or follow-up. We want to ensure that every parent has the opportunity to be involved and informed about their child’s learning journey.
Staffing changes
We would like to welcome Miss Ally Ferreira as our Year 1 teacher as she replaces Mrs Gina Umoren who has moved to be with family in South Australia. We also welcome Miss Skye Simmonds on Year 4 as Mrs Juliette Burnham goes on maternity leave. We look forward to meeting baby Burnham.
We congratulate Miss Tammy Nelson on the news of her pending baby arrival at the end of September. We are most grateful to Ms Melanie Galloway who will take charge of KN from August 28until the end of the year. Ms Galloway is an experienced teacher and will spend time with Miss Nelson for a thorough handover.
Grandparents Day
Just a reminder that Grandparents Day is just around the corner and we very much look forward to welcoming our Grandparents and Grandfriends to our school on Friday 11 April at 9.15am for a 9.30 assembly. Parking directions will be advised closer to the date. This will be a delightful way to close the term as we thank our students for the hardwork and focus they have applied to their learning.
