Parent Teacher Interviews
Location: Classrooms
An evening of student/parent/teacher interviews will once again be held at the start of Term
1 2010. The allocated time for each interview will be 10 minutes. This primary purpose of this interview is for the parent to inform the teacher of any issues or concerns that they might
have about their child and his/her coming year of study. It is not about teachers informing parents on student progress. The interviews have been scheduled to enable the sharing of
information thereby improving our ability to meet your child’s needs.
Once again we will be using a web-based interview booking system. The website will be the primary method of booking your child’s interview and we ask that you do this yourself rather than make phone or personal bookings through the office. To access the interview booking website please go to the last tab on the school website www.waikanae.school.nz and follow the instructions. This system is easier, saves time and will enable you to book
your interviews from wherever/whenever you have web access. Bookings are now being taken. Good luck

IHC’s Consultation on the Government’s
Review of Special Education
The Review of Special Education is an important chance for family/whanau, advocates, educators and all members of the public to have their say about the changes they think need to happen in the New Zealand education system. IHC is aware of the longstanding concerns about the current system and we have lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission about the difficulties experienced by children, parents and schools.
IHC is holding consultation meetings in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to gain as wide a view point as possible for its submission to Government. We will be explaining the document and the context in which the review is taking place. Additional information can be found on the IHC website and in the February edition of Hot Issues
