Learning Conferences

Our learning conferences are a chance for our students, teachers and parents/ guardians to meet together to discuss student learning, progress and next steps. There is an expectation that family members have accessed the parent portal to Hero to view their child/ren’s learning posts prior to the learning conference as this is an opportunity to ask any questions you may have as a result. 

Learning conferences are just 15 minutes per child to allow enough time for teachers to meet with each family over the two nights. If you have additional questions or concerns you would like to discuss with a staff member, please make an appointment to meet with the teacher again at another time that suits both.

Wednesday, 19 July
