2025 Term 1 Share and Connect - Week 2 - Wed 12/2 & Thursday 13/2
Bookings will open on Friday 13/12.
The aim of this initial 10 minute meeting - ‘Share and Connect’ is for teachers, whānau and ākonga to meet in person to start to (or continue) to build strong relationships to support your child’s learning. It’s about ‘whanaungatanga’ building connections and relationships
Meetings will focus on whānau, ākonga and teachers sharing information about how the first few days have been, and making plans to support your child’s learning in 2025.
We strongly suggest your child is part of this meeting. Teachers will not be sharing any new achievement information at this meeting.
We believe this process will be a really positive experience that will have a big impact on learning and wellbeing.
Please note that on Wednesday 12 February school will finish at 1pm to allow teachers to be involved in these meetings.
We would like you to talk to us about your child at the Whānau Connect Meeting
Please take some time to think about the questions below in preparation for your meeting
What is your child passionate about or show an interest in?
What does your child do well or enjoy doing - at home and school?
What have you noticed about learning and school in previous years?
How could we build on your child’s strengths to support learning?
How would you like us to work together this year?
What is the best way to communicate between your whānau and teacher?
Is there anything that teachers would benefit from being aware of which might impact on your child’s school life?
Are there any health, wellbeing or custody factors you would like the teacher to be aware of? (You are welcome to arrange another time if you would like to share this without your child there)
