School Reports

The staff are considering a change to the twice yearly school reports. We are very keen to hear your feedback about the current reports that are sent home in June and December. We would like to know the sections that you focus on when reading the reports, the part that you like and the sections that you find frustrating or difficult to understand.

We will be having a parent forum about the school reports to give families the opportunity to express their opinions on the current reporting format and to show you what the staff are thinking. This will be held on Tuesday 24th March at 6.00pm in Mrs. Weatherby’s classroom. If you cannot attend this evening please email your feedback to Lisa – burt.lisa.j@edumail.vic.gov.au
