Primary School Parent Teacher Night

Katie Brody – Director of Students K-6

Parent Teacher Night

Parent Teacher Night will be held in just a few weeks time. Please note the following dates in your calendar and look out for an email (coming soon) that will outline the instructions for requesting an appointment with your child’s teacher/s. 

This year, in response to the recent PTN survey, we are structuring the Parent Teacher evenings with one evening conducted on Zoom and the other evening face-to-face on campus. Parents can choose one option.

  • Monday 15 March 2021: 4.00 pm – 9.00 pm (All meetings ON ZOOM)
  • Wednesday 17 March 2021: 4.00 pm – 6.30 pm (All meetings face-to-face ON CAMPUS)

Parent Teacher Night is a great opportunity to have important conversations about your child’s progress and their approaches to learning. Given that it is still very early in the year, any new anecdotal information you offer the teachers is as important as the feedback they provide for you. 

Once you receive the email with all the booking information, please follow the instructions very carefully to select the teachers with whom you would like to meet and note the information about either meeting on Zoom or the measures we will take to be COVID-safe on campus.

How long are the meetings and will there be a gap in between?

Meetings with class teachers and teachers from the SLC are 10 minutes long. Teachers will be asked to stick to the 10 minutes, even though the booking system will show a 14 minute space. 

Meetings with specialist teachers will be five minutes long. Teachers will be asked to stick to the five minutes, even though the booking system will show a seven minute space. The extra time has been added to allow for movement between meetings.

Can all parent appointments include Art, Drama, Music and PE teachers? 

This semester, specialist teachers will be available to meet with parents of children in Years 3-6 only. If your child/children are in Years K-2, you will have an opportunity to meet with the specialist teachers next semester. 

Booking information will be sent to you via email very soon.
