Parent Teacher Interviews – WEDNESDAY 27TH JUNE – Bookings Now Open
All families received information yesterday explaining how to book a Parent Teacher Interview for Wednesday 27th June to meet with the teacher who has compiled your child’s semester 1 Learning report. We encourage families to bring their child/ren to the Parent Teacher Interview as students are not required to attend school on this day. This process is the same as previous years and interviews are to be booked through an online portal at www.schoolinterviews.com using the school code SKAT2. Interview times are available from 11:00am to 7.15pm to suit our families. If you require an interpreter, please book an interpreter at the time of your interview booking or contact the office for assistance. Those families who require assistance or internet access are able to use school services to book online. All families will have a scheduled interview time. To ensure you receive a time that suits your family please book as soon as possible.

Students semester 1 reports will be made available online via our new student management system COMPASS. Reports will be available from Monday 25th June via COMPASS.
