Primary School

The Primary School welcomes enquiries from parents and caregivers at any time.

The Primary School holds a Parent-Teacher Information Evening in the first weeks of Term 1. Interviews are arranged during Term 1 and Term 3, and at other times throughout the year as requested.

All parents must attend the interviews to maintain clear communication regarding students' academic progress. Students in Year 5 and 6 are asked to attend the Term 3 meeting with their parents to present their progress and receive direct feedback from teachers and parents.

The School may also request interviews if problems exist that hinder a student’s progress or where the student’s conduct warrants a parent conference.

To meet with your child’s class teacher or any other staff member, please get in touch with the Primary Office or email primaryschool@scas.nsw.edu.au and request an appointment. A member of staff will contact you to arrange a time. It is not appropriate to interrupt a teacher at 8.50am or 3.20pm when they are settling or dismissing the class.

Secondary School

Secondary School Parent-Teacher-Student Interview Evenings are held each Semester. Appointments are booked via the Parent Lounge. All parents and caregivers are encouraged to contact the School at any time during the school year to discuss concerns or to contact the Secondary Office or email secondaryadmin@scas.nsw.edu.au to arrange an interview time with a particular member of staff.

Parent Agreement for Remote Parent/Teacher Interviews

Google Meet can be accessed on any device within the browser. If you wish, there is a dedicated app for iOS and Android devices. For either option, you will require a microphone and camera (plus internet connectivity) on the device you wish to use. You do not require a Google account to use this product.

Guidelines

1. When entering an interview in Google Meet you will be prompted to enter your name. We request that you enter your name/s with the student name in brackets

   • eg Jim and Gwen Smith (Oscar)

2. The Google Meet code is unique for your child's teacher interviews. Your connection to the interview will need to be accepted by the class teacher before you are admitted to the meeting.

3. Never share the Google Meet code (or invite other people from outside of SCAS). The class teacher moderates this and if an unfamiliar name appears they will be denied access to the Google Meet session.

4. Recording and sharing of any Google Meet content (video, screen grabs, photos or screen recording) are strictly prohibited.

5. In a Google Meet session there are expectations;

   • Be thoughtful of what is in the background of your video feed.

   • Ensure that you have good Internet connectivity.

   • These are professional interviews with the intent of providing insights into the academic and social progress of students. We would ask that interviews be conducted in a quiet and appropriate location within your home/office.

Google Meet is an interactive online video conferencing platform. This platform allows teachers to video conference with students to support their online learning and is being used for Parent/Teacher interviews.

If your child's teacher is hosting a Google Meet, they will share the required information (time of interview and a private link to join) via email.
