LEARNING CELEBRATION Thursday 23 September 2021

Kevin Cronin —

We are offering parents the opportunity to come in an share a 30-minute celebration of learning with their child. Our children really forward to this occasion and work hard to prepare for it.

In this time students will share their learning, their goals, their proud moments, examples of their work and details of their classroom. The teacher will also schedule some time to answer any specific questions the student or parents may have.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

  • Students will lead this celebration time.

  • There will be time planned for the teacher to share with each student and family.

  • If there are bigger matters that need discussing, these need to be deferred to a separate meeting time.

  • The student should be a key person in this time. Our belief is that if the discussion is about the student, their learning and wellbeing, then they need to be involved.

  • If there is something personal that you would like to discuss only with the teacher, please let the teacher know before the meeting.

  • During this time, your child will have lots to share with you.

  • There will be up to 5 families in the room at the same time sharing their child’s learning journey.

  • If your child gives you all the information you need, it is your choice whether you take up the time with the teacher, or not.

PLEASE CONSIDER:

  • Our staff are working from 3.15 to 6.15pm to provide this opportunity.

Together We Inspire Learning

  • On a rare occasion when we have a parent come in who is upset about something; our advice is Respect the Person. “The problem is the problem; the person is never the problem”

  • Control your emotions and think “How can I help?”

  • Book a separate time with the teacher.

We look forward to seeing our parents on this evening.
