Hawthorndene Primary School actively encourages close contact between parents and the class teacher. If you wish to talk to your child’s teacher, please schedule a time to do so. Mondays after school are scheduled for staff meetings so please select another time.

Reporting on student achievement is critical to students, parents and teachers alike. The following components form the basis of reporting a student’s progress to parents.

 

Term 1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

• Acquaintance Night
  This is held early in the term. Acquaintance Night provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to meet their child’s teachers, learn about classroom routines, and build positive partnerships to support student learning throughout the year.
