'Meet the Teacher' Open Night

Many thanks go to the parents who came along to meet their child's teacher at last week's open night. We had approximately 60% of our students represented by their parents on the night. Below is a graph showing the number of parents who attended in each class.

One of our targets as a school is to provide all parents with an opportunity to participate in whole school activities such as this open night. Clear and open communication between school and home is critical if we are to provide a united approach to improving student achievement. Parents are encouraged to ask questions and/or raise concerns that they may have about their child. Teachers can be contacted via their Department of Education email address (firstname.secondname@education.wa.edu.au). Alternatively contact can be made via letter or by phoning the school office. Please remember that teachers can not always meet with you without a prior appointment i.e. they are often busy preparing for lessons before school or have other meetings after school. Our Deputy Principal's or I are often available to chat with parents although appointments are usually the best way to ensure that adequate time is set aside for meetings.
