Parent/Teacher Conferences Reminder
By: Philip Bradley
Please note that the high school Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place on Friday 5th October, this is not an instructional day for students. Students are strongly encouraged to join their parents (uniforms are not required).

Conferences will be held in the HS Gym.
Session 1:        7:30 to 11:15
Lunch:            11:15 to 12:00
Session 2        12:00 to 3:00

Parent/Teacher conferences are NOT pre-booked. Rather parents queue to meet each teacher. The conference format works very well but does not allow for lengthy conversations, 5min is typical. Arriving with specific questions is a good plan especially if you have a concern that needs to be addressed. If you require an in depth / follow-up discussion with a teacher, please make an appointment for another day. If you are flexible in the time you can attend conferences I would recommend you come after lunch, since this period is less busy.
