Communication with Families

We value the opportunity to communicate with the school community.

As a school we have high expectations of parents and students. We believe that we are working in partnership with families to provide a quality education for students.

As a means of working with families we:

• Publish regular newsletters (issued every 3 weeks)
• Hold parent/teacher meetings
• Host subject selection talks at key junctures of
  schooling
• Host tertiary entrance evenings
• Have an active P&C that meets on the second Wednesday of the month
• Have School Council meetings each term
• Encourage parents to telephone teachers with any concerns
• Expect that students “Redbooks”, the student diary, is used effectively
• Encourage teachers to contact families when concerns arise
• Issue formal reports at the end of semester one and two
• Issue a mid-semester 1 report to indicate to parents how students are settling into a new year of study
• Invite parents and the school community to the many events that are offered in the school e.g. debating, musical performance, sporting carnivals, dance performances etc
• Contact families when students are absent from school
• Write to families when concerns arise over uniform issues and punctuality
• Telephone parents seeking support with behaviour management issues

Regular attendance at school is vital to your students’ success at school.
