Year 7, 8 and 9 Reporting Day
//The Student-Parent-Teacher Interviews for Year 7, 8 and 9 students will be held on Monday 26 July. This is an opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress with their teachers. We encourage students to be present to participate in the interview. Semester One reports will be published during the term break, and additional information and comments about specific assessment results are available throughout the year via your SEQTA Engage login – in preparation for the interview, please ensure you have accessed your child’s SEQTA assessment records and reviewed these with your child.
There will be two sessions: 8:00am – 1:00pm and 3:00pm – 7:00pm. Within these time frames, you will be able to book 8 minute interviews with each class teacher. The interviews will be held in the Glenda Parkin Learning Centre (Year 7 Building). Please note if for some reason a teacher is not available on the day their name will not be listed on the Bookings information, and you will receive an email from the teacher to organise an alternative time. Please speak to your child and check their timetable to ensure you book with the most relevant teacher for classes with more than one teacher.
