In Primary we have reports at the end of each term and a parents meeting halfway through the term, this way we can be assured that we know and you know the progress of each child. 

In Secondary, the frequency of reports is increased to five per year plus one parents meeting per term, so the tracking and control of the students’ progress is regular and  accurate.

If you need  to talk with your child’s teacher, you can request a meeting or contact them by email. Communication with the family is of the utmost importance to us.
