Parent / Student / Teacher Conferences (TERM 2, 2022)
WHEN: Tuesday 7th June & Wednesday 8th June 2022
TIME: 1.30pm - 7.00pm
Students will finish school at the earlier time of 12:30pm on both days. School buses will NOT be arriving at the earlier time, however the school library will be open.
Student, Teacher, Parent Conferences for Years 9 to 13 are usually held twice a year (subject to Covid alert levels) and provide an opportunity for parents, students and subject teachers to discuss progress, achievement and individual needs. As the name suggests, students are expected to attend and participate. This is a great opportunity to strengthen relationships that support our students, and you, our families and whānau.
All visitors to the school site are asked to please wear a face mask. We will have spare masks available if required and hand sanitizer in each classroom.
During the PST conference we will have the opportunity to discuss:
- Progress up to this point
- Focus on the next steps (particularly credit tracking and externals for seniors)
- Subject teachers, and students, present a summary of how the student is progressing and any next steps required. The nature of the conference is a focused dialogue (with a set 'interview' time of 5 minutes). If additional time is needed it must be organised for another time, by arrangement with a particular teacher. If the teacher has some empty booking slots, they may be able to see you during the PST evening, or make an appointment with you to come in to school to meet at another time.
Online Bookings
The conferences will be held in B Block, E Block, F block and the Auditorium Foyer. We have spread the classroom use across the school to ensure as few people as possible are in a classroom at any one time. Please be mindful of this when making bookings by keeping a 10 minute gap between appointments. You will see the location of classrooms when making your bookings.
Bookings are available through the GBHS Whānau Dashboard.
