At Newlands Intermediate we believe that establishing strong relationships and making educationally powerful connections with learners as soon as possible makes for a great start to your child’s time at our school.

We start each year with Getting Connected Day for our new students. This is an opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher.

There are 2 parts to these sessions – Get Connected with teachers and Get Connected digitally.

• Get Connected with teachers – this is an opportunity to make connections and share information. Learners will attend with their parents / caregivers. (Approx. 15 minutes)

• Get Connected digitally – this is an opportunity to set up devices with school logins, Digital User Agreements, BYOD information and Seesaw. We will use this time to check that we have all your contact details correct also. After you have had a session with your child’s teacher you will be guided through these processes in our hall for approx. 15 minutes.

We use an online booking system for the “Get Connected” meeting with teachers. You will need the Skool Loop app for this. Emails to guide through this booking system are sent in December and January.
