Preparations are in full swing across the College for our new format of Parent Student Teacher Conferences that will take place all the way from Prep through to Year 12. This format aligns with our Visible Learning goal of developing assessment capable learners. What does that mean? Simply, it means that students take greater ownership of their learning and can identify:

• What they are learning
• How they are going in their learning journey
• What they need to do next to continue their learning

Students across the Early Years are busy reflecting on their current learning and choosing evidence to share at the conference to show their ‘glow’ (what I already know) and ‘grow’ (what my next goals are). They have been busy preparing with teachers this week and are pumped to be able to share this with you next week. If you have not yet booked in a time for a Parent Teacher Student Conference, please do so now to share in the excitement. (Note: we are all on a very tight time frame so please be sure you are ready online or, if you chose the face to face option, you are signed in via the College Office.)

If you have a need to discuss something privately with the teacher, please arrange an alternative time to meet. The focus on these conferences is on students leading an explanation of their learning. We can’t wait to share this with you!
