Reporting to Parents

We report to parents formally four times per year. Two Student-Learning Conversations (SLCs), and two written reports. However, parents are welcome to make a time to meet with their child's teacher anytime throughout the year if they have any queries or concerns.

Our formal reporting cycle is outlined below:

• During the first 3 weeks of Term One we have a Wh?nau Picnic Evening which includes an opportunity to visit classrooms and ‘meet the teacher’; parents/caregivers are able to come along and hear about the school learning programme, routines and expectations and processes
• Towards the end of Term One parents/wh?nau are invited to a Student-Led Conversation (SLC) to discuss and celebrate the progress their child is making, set goals, and establish next steps
• At the beginning of Term 3 (Monday) a formal written report is sent home which outlines the strengths and next steps of each child and how they are progressing in relation to the national curriculum
• In Week 2 of Term 3 parents/wh?nau are invited to a Student Learning Conversation (SLC) to celebrate and discuss the progress their child is making, review goals and to establish next steps and support needed for the student
• At the end of Term Four a final written report is sent home. This report outlines the strengths and next steps of each child and how they have progressed towards meeting the expectations of the national curriculum
• One Technology/Specialist report will be sent home at the end of the school year, including assessment in each technology/specialist area. It accompanies the classroom report.
• Finally, at the end of Term Four, students' books are sent home which contain the activities and learning steps which have taken place throughout the year
