PARENTS VISITING CLASSROOMS BEFORE 9.00AM

An outstanding feature of our school is unquestionably the wonderful partnerships we forge with
families each year. This strong collaboration enables students, staff and parents to work closely
together in support of every child. Ongoing communication is very important factor here, with
many formal/scheduled opportunities organised throughout the year, as well as times where
parents will drop in the classroom to quickly touch base on a matter, or maybe phone or contact
their childs teacher. As a school we value and appreciate this ongoing communication, particularly
as circumstances change throughout the year.
When a matter arises whereby an extended period of time may be needed to discuss and address a
matter, we ask that parents make an appointment time with their childs teacher. This enables our
teachers to schedule this meeting into their busy schedules so that the matter can be addressed in a
timely manner. We ask that parents do not drop into the classrooms just prior to the school day to
discuss matters in detail. As you can appreciate, this is valuable planning time for our teachers, who
need to make sure that all of their necessary preparations have been completed for the day ahead.
For any urgent, or potentially serious matters, parents are always welcome to drop by the office
prior to the start of the school day to request to speak to a member of the leadership team.
Thank you in anticipation of your support on this important matter.
