COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS

In addition to Teacher / Parent communication throughout the year, the School reports to parents in a number of ways.

1. Formal Written Report at the end of Term One
2. Parent / Teacher Interviews at the end of Term One and Term Three
3. Formal Written Reports at the end of Semester One and Semester Two
4. Individual appointments / emails / phone-calls

Parents may convey concerns to teachers via email, phone-call or letter. An after-school appointment may be useful to discuss concerns. Teachers will copy emails, letters and log phone-calls and interviews with the Head of Secondary.

Formal Written Reports

Formal written reports include written comments by each subject teacher. A percentage is given at the end of Term One, Semester One and Two and this percentage is a reflection of the work completed by the student throughout each semester.
