Parent concerns
Teachers are always available to discuss any issues that arise concerning your children. Please contact your child’s teacher to make an appointment time.  We want to foster strong home and school partnerships with the aim of giving the children our best always. If you feel matters are not resolved after meeting your child’s teacher, please see the senior teacher.  Senior teachers will always keep school management in the loop. Together we will work toward a positive resolution.  Of course compliments are wonderful to receive too :)
