Dear Parents,

We hope you enjoyed the ASA showcases this week and were able to recognise how far your children had grown in different activities! Next week we look forward to welcoming you to our Student Led Conferences on Thursday.

Student Led Conference - next Thursday 5 March
Student Led Conferences are all day of Thursday 5 March. No regular classes will be held on this day.  
This Student Led Conference is the time for your child to share their learning, growth and future goals with you.  

Please expect your child’s teachers to be involved as facilitators, and not directly involved in the discussions; on this day the main focus is on the sharing between you and your child. There will be multiple children and their families sharing their learning at the same time in each classroom. 
  • The conference will take approximately 30 - 40 minutes in the classroom and 30 - 40 mins with the specialist areas - Music, Art, PE, Indian Studies and World Language.
  • Your child will have a passport to lead you through each area and will know whether to begin in the homeroom or in the specialist areas.
  • Students are responsible for leading the conference and also take responsibility for their learning by sharing the process with their parents.  
  • Supervision for AISC siblings will be in the ES CIC only. Please note that this is only for enrolled AISC students. You will need to make your own separate arrangements for younger children and babies.  
  • Please do not hesitate to contact either the homeroom/specialist teachers, or Dave, Calley or myself, should you have any questions regarding these upcoming conferences.

                       If you have not already done so, please sign up for your child’s Conference via Seesaw
