What is a group conference?
It’s a meeting between yourself, the student and the significant adult here at the College, which is the student’s tutor teacher. We know that when all three groups work successfully together, we can achieve positive outcomes.
The conference lasts 20 minutes and will cover a range of topics including:
When are they?
There will be two group conferences this year; the first is on Thursday 25th March, between 8:40am – 8:00pm. You can select your 20 minute appointment at any time throughout this time slot that is convenient for you.
How do I book my conference?
Bookings are now live and can be made for Thursday 25th March. We are using the same online booking system that we normally use for parent teacher interviews;
As well as the tutor teacher, who else can I book an appointment to see?
Does this replace the Subject Report Evenings?
No, these will take place in Term 2 as usual.
What if I have questions regarding the conference?
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s tutor teacher, who will be able to help.
We want all parents/caregivers to attend the conference; it is an important meeting. If for any reason you are unable to attend, then we would like a significant adult to attend with your child. This could be an aunt or uncle, a grandparent or a family friend.
Students will be expected to attend on their own if a significant adult is unable to be there for the conference. Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 are expected to wear school uniform.
There will be no classes on this day, Year 9 students are not required to attend school but will be expected to continue learning online.
Year 10-13 students are also expected to continue with their learning on-line when they are not at their interview.
