STUDENTS REPORTS AND P/T/S CONFERENCES
If all goes according to plan we hope to distribute all student Mid-year reports tomorrow Friday 19th
June. Please look for these in the school bag at the end of the day!
Distribution of these reports will then be followed up with P/T/S Conferences on Wednesday 24th
June.
The focus of the mid-year conference is for your child/ren to share their work and discuss how they
are going with achieving their Learning Goals. Teachers will discuss the learning and progress of
your child and strategies, to either extend their learning, or provide additional support. You may also
wish to seek clarification on any aspects of the mid-year written report at this conference.
P/T/S conferences are highly effective in enhancing childrens motivation and understanding of their
learning. The length of each P/T/S Conference is up to 10 minutes.
Prior to the conferences, teachers and children will spend time discussing how to take part in a P/T/S
conference. We believe all parents and children will find the conferences very informative and
rewarding.
The Prep, Year 1 & Year 2 children will talk about their Goals and achievements, as well as
articulating their learning.
