17.01.2022 3-Way Interviews Feedback This year we adjusted the timing and format of our 3-way interviews (parent teacher meetings) by bringing them forward to the start of term 2. This was due to parents and teachers seeking earlier opportunities to come together to discuss current progress and what steps can be put in place to support continued growth. We would really appreciate if parents could find the time to complete the survey at the link provided. The link will be open until Friday the 4th of June https://forms.office.com/r/aznmb2UUtr
