Communication Guidelines for Staff
At the beginning of this year the School Executive created a set of communication guidelines to support staff at this time of technological availability. We wanted to provide staff with a set of school guidelines which uphold professional integrity and encourage and maintain open and clear communication between all members of the St Benedict’s community. These communication guidelines have been ratified by the School Board and are attached for you to read.
Communication Guidelines for Staff
Student School Reports
I know that many of the teachers will have used the long weekend to write end of term reports for our students. These reports will be distributed on Friday 28th June. As Three Way Conferences were held earlier in the year there will be no designated time set down for Three Way Conferences in week 10 as has happened in previous years. Parents are most welcome to have an optional parent teacher meeting should they wish. Please contact your child’s class teacher if you would like a parent teacher meeting following the school report.
Questions from Parents
Our staff are always very, very happy to answer any questions about the learning environment and program offered for your child. If your child comes home talking about the classroom and something sounds a little odd then please be sure to clarify directly with the teacher. A simple email is always effective or a quick conversation after or before school is also helpful. They are always happy to ring you back if you leave a message.
Leaving St Benedict’s
If you anticipate that your child will leave St Benedict’s at the end of this year, could you please notify the Front Office where they a heading to. We need to begin planning for staffing and class configurations for 2020. Thank you to those who have let us know already, this is very much appreciated. Naturally Year 6 parents need not respond to this request.
