Let’s continue to build positive partnerships as a way to support every child reach their learning potential. 

It is always wonderful to come back to College after a break and hear the stories from the students about their experiences. Some mention amazing trips, some discuss the books they have read – always a winning conversation with me! – and others talk about visiting museums, galleries and sporting events. All of them talk about times spent with their parents and caregivers.

How treasured are these partnerships.

At Thomas Hassall, we encourage parents to show interest in discovering the learning of the children. Thank you for attending Parent/Teacher interviews, information sessions about reports, InitiaLit and the upcoming one on the new Mathematics syllabus. We will continue to consider ways to foster this interest.

This term, the Junior School teachers are focused on helping parents with this goal. Please keep an eye on Seesaw to see the learning occurring in the classrooms. Look to see how your child is developing in their writing, reading, numeracy and the vast range of learning that occurs in a regular school day.

Focusing on your child’s learning growth is the true goal of successful partnerships.
