Parent Teacher Interviews
A reminder that our parent teacher interviews are scheduled for Wednesday 3rd and Thursday the 4th of May. Students are welcome to attend, but should remain with parents whilst on school grounds. The Adventure Playground at the Hall will be closed, to provide a quiet environment for all famiies, for our parent teacher conversations.
As specialist teachers only have the same number of interview slots as class teachers, we appreciate it if only parents who have particular concerns book these time slots.
Second Step
The focus for our whole school Second Step program, this term, is Problem Solving. The table below indicates the way these important skills are taught and developed across year levels. Teachers will supply homelinks that support this important learning.
