Buderim
Mountain State School believes regular communication with parents creates a
vital partnership and we strive to work closely with every student, their
families and the community to provide an outstanding education.
Your
child’s classroom teacher is your first point of contact, and we welcome the
opportunity to constructively discuss any aspects of a student’s education.
This includes their progress, or school procedures, including concerns or
compliments. We do ask that you keep communication with teachers outside of class
time to ensure children’s lessons are not impacted.
Teachers
hold their own policy on the use of email as a communication tool and make
their position and expectations known at the start of each year. Any email to
school or teachers is to be used for official school purposes only, and we
remind all parties to communicate in a way that is brief, factual, timely and
respectful.
Parents
and carers are asked to understand the time limitations in a teacher’s day and
anticipate responses will take over 24 hours to receive a response.
Our
other staff including the school Chaplain, Deputy Principals and Principal are
also happy to meet with you and support your family’s needs.
There
are several points during the year when we focus on providing a formal opportunity
for parents to meet their children’s teachers. The dates of these meetings are
advised through class and school newsletters.
Semester 1
All
year levels will have a meet and greet information session early in the
semester, and a yearly overview will be handed out at this time.
Years
P-6 parent-teacher interviews are held at the end of term 1 and the beginning
of term 3.
Reports
are handed out at the start of term 3 and parents are welcome to approach class
teachers if they wish to discuss their children’s progress.
Semester 2
Reports
are handed out at the end of term 4 and parents are welcome to approach class
teachers if they wish to discuss their children’s progress.
Parents
may make an appointment for an interview by contacting the office or their
class teacher.
