Parent Teacher Meetings
Parents and community members are encouraged to play an active role in the education of their children. Queensland state schools value the partnership of parents in helping to enrich learning opportunities for students. Schools are required to offer a minimum of one parent teacher interview each semester. (https://education.qld.gov.au/parents-and-carers/parent-participation)
Parent-teacher interviews are a great way to establish and maintain respectful, collaborative relationships with parents and carers regarding their children's academic achievement, learning and wellbeing. (https://teach.qld.gov.au/latest-articles/top-tips-for-parent-teacher-interviews)
