Student Support Group (SSG) meetings are a valuable opportunity for parents/carers, students, and school staff to work together in planning and supporting a student’s learning, wellbeing, and development. These meetings focus on your child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP), which outlines specific learning goals across key areas such as English, Mathematics, and Personal and Social Capabilities.
When and How
SSG meetings take place in Weeks 4 and 5 of each term. Meetings can be held in person, by phone, or via Microsoft Teams. Unless otherwise advised, we will assume your preference is to attend the meeting in person. If you’d prefer a phone or Teams meeting, please let your child’s teacher know.
If you need to make changes to your child’s usual departure, please notify the classroom teacher.
Student Involvement
Students are welcome and encouraged to attend their SSG meeting to share their thoughts about their learning. Please note that supervision is not available for students outside of the scheduled meeting time.
Bookings
Bookings will open on Compass from Monday of Week 3. Please log in and select a suitable time to meet with your child’s teacher.
If you have trouble accessing Compass or need help with booking, please contact the school office.
Arrival and Parking
Parent parking is available on Aitkin Boulevard. Please enter the school through the Darrang (administration) building when attending your meeting.
We look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s continued growth and success.
As the warmer weather continues, it’s super important to be sun smart! Here is how we are going to keep our students safe and healthy when they’re out in the sun:
Hats On! 🧢 Please send your child to school with a hat that has their first and last name clearly labelled. It’s a must for all outdoor activities!
Sunscreen Ready! 🌞 Our school is using Hamilton Active Family 50+SPF high protection sunscreen. If this doesn’t suit your child, please let their classroom teacher know and provide an alternative.
Stay Hydrated! 💧 Don’t forget to pack full water bottles for your students every day to keep them hydrated and happy.
Supporting All Students 🌟 If your child finds it challenging to stay sun-safe, rest assured that our staff will work with our Occupational Therapists to make reasonable adjustments that cater to their sensory needs. This will be discussed in the next Student Support Group meeting.
All staff and students need to use sunscreen and wear a hat during outside playtimes.
Let’s work together to ensure everyone enjoys the sunshine safely!
Each week, we shine a spotlight on a class, sharing highlights from their learning in line with our continuous reporting schedule.
From classroom projects and skill development to individual achievements and growth, this section celebrates the ongoing learning taking place across the school.
Stay tuned to see how different classes are engaging in meaningful learning experiences and progressing throughout the year.
