Student Led Conferences!

Hi everyone.

Last year, we held Student Led Conferences where all of our students took some time to show their parents what they were doing at school.  Parent feedback was that they were pleased to see what their child has been doing at School.  In a few cases, it was about having a discussion about what we'll need to improve the work we are doing at school.

This is a chance for you to sit with your child and talk education.  Then you'll have a chance for a check in with their teacher.
