3 Way Interviews Years 1 - 8 / Goal setting
Wednesday 4th March, 3.30 - 5.30pm & 6.10 - 8.00pm       Thursday 5th March 3.30pm - 6.00pm
This is an opportunity to learn more about your child and be involved in their goal setting.
Our students have spent the first 3-4 weeks of the school year finding out more about themselves and how they learn.  They would like to share this with you. 
The interviews will have two parts.  Firstly students will share what they have discovered and then there will be a chance for the student, teacher and parents/caregivers to discuss and set 2 or 3 goals for the child to focus on.  These goals will be based around the values, skills and attitudes needed for learning. 
We value your input into your child’s learning and ask that you make time to attend these interviews.  Please visit the www.schoolinterviews.co.nz to book a time. Event Code: F72FQ
