Parent Student Teacher Interviews
12 Sep 2024
On Wednesday September 18th and Thursday September 19th the school will be holding it’s Parent Student Teacher Interview nights. These interviews will be an opportunity for Parents and Students to get feedback from their teachers (in all subject areas Primary and Secondary) on their progress so far this year. These interviews represent an opportunity for our staff to communicate to Parents and Students on student progress in the second semester, they have replaced our term three written secondary reports and primary progress checks which have been used for this purpose in recent years. Student participation in these interviews is an integral requirement for the interviews to be as effective as possible, giving our teachers the opportunity to talk with both parents and students about progress and to also show evidence of student work. I encourage all parents to take the opportunity to book interviews with all teachers when the Session Keeper portal opens up on Friday September 13th at 9am for interview bookings. Interview timeslots will run for 15 minutes and run from 3.30pm until 6pm each night.
The meetings will provide the following:
- A chance for parents and students to get an idea of how students are progressing so far, in terms of a possible AC grade at the moment. However this would be simply a statement about progress at this point of the semester and should not be taken as a prediction.
- Discussion and sharing of student work, areas for further improvement, possible tasks and activities that can also be done at home.
- The opportunity for parents, students and teachers to ask questions. The school and home environments are part of a students learning and this is an opportunity to get some clarity here.
Once bookings are made on Session Keeper teachers will be aware of these. If it is not possible to fit an interview in teachers can also be available at other times by appointment through the front office or their school email. Most teachers will be available for conversations on both days, however other teachers will be available as follows:
- Emily Fels – Wednesday September 18th
- Travis McDonald – Wednesday September 18th
- Hayley Brown – Wednesday September 18th
Booking Interviews
After 9am on Friday September 13th, parents will be able to go to the Session Keeper Portal and book interviews with relevant staff members by clicking on or typing in the following link https://hawkeras.schoolzineplus.com/view-session/6 This will take you to the interview booking window where you can put book an interview providing the day, time and student and parent details.
We look forward to seeing our parents and students participating at the interviews next week.
