Becoming Involved With Your School
There are a number of ways that you can support your child’s school.
This can include attending P & C meetings, joining the School Council,
volunteering for the canteen or uniform shop or volunteering to help in
the classrooms.

Parent - Teacher Interviews
Written reports on your child’s progress are sent home twice a year.
During Term 1 and again in Term 3 formal parent teacher interviews are
held across the whole school. We encourage parents to
contact their child’s teacher if they ever have any concerns about their
child at home or at school. This can easily be done by phoning the
school office and leaving a message for the teacher to arrange a
suitable appointment time.
Effective communication between home and school is
vital so that we can continue to provide high quality education for all
children.
School Learning Support Team
Throughout the school year groups of people
involved with individual children at our school meet to plan and discuss
these individual children. These meetings can bring together a lot of
people whose focus is on ensuring that the child concerned is making
progress at school. They often involve parents, teachers who are
working with the child, both in the school and from other sectors of the
Department of Education and Training, the School Counsellor, school
executive, school principal and other agencies who might be working with
the child. We call these meetings Learning Support Team meetings. They
are an important part of how our school operates, based on the belief
that if we work together as a team we can get the very best for all
children.
Technology
The school has a five year technology plan to ensure that the most
up-to-date technology is available to support student learning. The
entire school is networked, with internet access in each classroom. To
date six electronic whiteboards have been installed in Years 3-6
classrooms. A computer lab with modern, efficient computers is attached
to the Library and the school is continuing to improve on the number of PC's in each classroom, with an average of 2 across K-6
classes.
