Mid Year Learning Conferences and Reports

Rob Naysmith —

Our Mid Year Reports are now live on HERO. Next week, we will be holding Learning Conferences to discuss the report and children's learning. Conferences will be held:

  • Wednesday 4 August (2.00-6.30pm) and
  • Thursday 5 August (3.15-8pm)

Children who have moved through to Huritini from Ahuriri will have a conference with their new Huritini teacher. Children in Ahuriri who are due for an interview will be contacted directly by the teacher.

Learning Conferences will run the same way as last year with you booking a 15-minute conference slot with your child’s T group teacher; this time is to discuss your child’s progress and achievement. We strongly encourage that the children participate in these discussions. The last 5 minutes of each conference will be reserved for parents to speak one on one with T groups teachers if so desired.

Your child will have the opportunity to share their learning with you in their learning centre before your booked conference time starts so please arrive 15 minutes before your conference begins to allow enough time for this to happen.

A Learning Conference Question Sheet was sent home on Monday with your child(ren), as well as this electronic copy. We would appreciate it if these sheets could be completed and returned to T group teachers by the end of this week. This will give the teachers enough time to review your comments and prepare for the conferences.

To book a Learning Conference with your child’s T group teacher please follow this link and enter the code ajuyp. Online bookings will close at 3pm on Friday 30 July (end of this week). Bookings will be on a first in first served basis so we advise you to make a booking as soon as possible. Any bookings after this will need to be made through the Office please. 

Early finish on Wednesday 

Please note that all classes will finish at 1.30pm on Wednesday 4 August to allow for the conferences to begin at 2pm. We ask that you collect your child(ren) at this time. If you are not in a position to pick-up your child at this earlier time, we will be providing supervision through until 3pm. If you would like your child to remain at school until 3pm, please complete this quick google form by 3pm on Tuesday 3 August.

If you have any questions about the conference process, please ask your child’s T group teacher. If you have any trouble making your booking please contact Heather in the Office.
