Book in for parent-teacher interviews 21 & 22 April 2026 (first week back, Term 2)

Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

Let’s talk about your child/ren’s learning progress over term 1 and set new goals!

Through parent-teacher interviews, our goal as a school is to support a sense-of-belonging amongst our community (Tūrangawaewae) as well as that sense of personal success alongside our rangatahi, our taiohi, our children (Whanaungatanga). Feedback can be shared both ways and new goals can be shaped up together for a successful term ahead (Whanaungatanga & Rangatiratanga).

Parent-teacher interviews

When – Tuesday 21 April 3-7pm & Wednesday 22 April 2.45-7pm.

Who & what – a chance for you and your child/ren to meet with their kaiako and subject/option/module teacher(s).
