REPORTING TO PARENTS
Reporting to Parents
Teachers report to parents on learning each term as follows:
-
Learning Conversations

Our ‘open-door’ policy means parents and caregivers do not have to wait for the twice-yearly learning conversation meetings to discuss their child’s learning. You can see the teacher and make a time to talk about your child at any time of the year. Simply contact the teacher and request a meeting time so teachers can plan to make enough time available for you without other pressing commitments impacting on the meeting time.
Student work will also be shared throughout the year using the HERO parent portal.
