Year 8 Whanau – I will be contacting those parents I haven’t seen to make a time to catch up.  These visits have been extremely valuable to everyone as we are setting a clear path for your child’s learning.  It also gives us far more time to sit down and discuss anything you want to regarding your child and school and how we can all work together to achieve success.  I have also really enjoyed getting to know parents and students outside of school, plus there is no time limit. 

Year 7 Whanau – I will also be contacting you shortly to make a time to see you all as soon as I have completed my visits with the Year 8 Whanau.
