Parent, Student and Teacher interviews

In Week 8 this term Primary Students and parents will have the opportunity to speak together with the class teacher in three way interviews. These are a valuable and important part of the teaching and learning process. 

Firstly, they allow the students to reflect on their progress so far this year. What are they proud of? What have they learned or improved at? What have been the highlights of the year so far for them? It is also a great time to set some learning goals for the rest of the year. What would they like to improve on this year? How will they achieve these aims? What support can the teacher and parents give to achieve these goals?

It is also a great opportunity for parents to ask any questions that they may have about their child's learning at Lumen Christi. This can be to do with any area of learning, from academic to social and pastoral development. It can also be a good time to ask your child questions about their learning. Children are sometimes reluctant or unsure about how to discuss their learning at home. Meeting with parents and teachers together can give students focus to reflect on specific parts of their learning and discuss these in a supportive environment. 

As we are trying to get through a large number of interviews, we are time limited on these evenings. It is a good idea to think about the types of questions you would like to ask beforehand. This will help to direct the discussion and help you and your child to get the most out of the time. Please remember that this is only one of the opportunities for discussion of your child's learning. At any time throughout the year please reach out and get in touch with your child's teacher or the school if you have any questions or require any further information about your child's schooling. 

At Lumen Christi we believe that it is in partnership with our students, families and the community that we are able to get the best outcomes for all of our students.
