Kia ora, koutou,
Thank you to everyone who has booked Goal Setting interviews for today and next Tuesday. It’s important to
touch base with your child’s classroom teacher at these interviews as they make up part of the school’s reporting
to parents process for the year. The reporting to parents process starts with Goal Setting interviews. These will
inform you of your child’s 5 Dispositions goals for Term 1, which then leads to progress reports at the end of Term
2. There is a parent interview in Term 2. The year finishes with a written report stating your child’s academic
progress and a general and Religious Education comment.
Reporting to Parents on Student Progress and Achievement - as seen on School Docs
Outlined below are the main ways we report to parents on student progress and achievement. Teachers can also
consider other ways of exchanging information with parents that are sensitive to the parents’ needs and culture.
Formal Interviews
During the year, parents are invited to attend at least two formal in-depth interviews. A goal-setting interview is
held in Term 1, and a parent interview is held in Term 2 to discuss progress.
eTAP Spotlight
Learning experiences are shared throughout each term to inform parents of class learning, and give parents an
opportunity to provide feedback and comments.
Reports
Each student, apart from new entrants, receives two written reports each year. Reports are sent mid-year and at
the end of the year, and are written in plain English. The progress report in Term 2 also reports on the school’s
five dispositions and involves goal setting. The written report in Term 4 includes general comments and Religious
Education comments. Reading, writing, and maths levels are also reported.
Informal Interviews
Parents can contact the classroom teacher at times other than parent interviews to discuss any issues or
concerns they may have with their child/children’s learning, social, or academic progress. The school asks that
parents seek a time that is suitable for both themselves and the classroom teacher before a meeting takes place.
New Entrants
Year 1 students have a goal-setting interview with parents at the beginning of the year regarding the school’s five
dispositions. At the end of June, an interview is held to discuss progress on the dispositions, academic progress,
and to set goals for the rest of the year.
Ma te Atua koutou e Manaaki, God Bless you all.

This week’s focus, Fruit of the Holy Spirit, is
“LOVE”.
Love is a variety of different feelings, states,
and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal
affection to pleasure. It can refer to an
emotion of a strong attraction and personal
attachment like when you love your Mum and
Dad or when you love your brother and sister.
Love might look like you’re doing a kind thing
for someone. It can be helping out at a rest
home and reading to someone elderly.
You are challenged this week to think about how can you
show the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, Love, at school?
