Meet the Teacher afternoon

Thank you to everyone who came along for our Meet the Teacher sessions this week. We really value developing strong connections with families, as this is one of the ways that we can support our students to be successful. We will be holding individual interviews for all families on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 February. Information about how to book these interviews will be sent out next week.

I have included our homework policy for your reference, as homework expectations will have been shared by teachers with you.

HOME LEARNING POLICY

Home learning is an extension of the school programme and supports, enhances,

and consolidates teaching and learning. It provides a positive link between home

and school. Andersons Bay School endeavours to ensure all students have access

to the resources they need to complete home learning.

learning to students and parents at the start of the year and throughout the
