The school encourages close Parent/Teacher relationships to support each student's learning. At Camp Hill State Infants & Primary School, we value responsive communication between teachers and families and encourage all parents and carers to build positive relationships with their child's teacher. Please remember that staff are often preparing for their day before school, and conversations at the classroom door can impact their ability to focus on these preparations. To ensure teachers can give their full attention to your concerns, we kindly ask that all meetings are arranged in advance rather than attempting informal discussions before or after school hours. Appointments can be organised through the school office or by directly emailing the teacher.
For more complex or urgent issues, we encourage you to make an appointment with a member of the school leadership team – Principal, Deputy Principal Junior Campus, Deputy Principal Senior Campus, Deputy Principal Inclusion and Head of Department -Curriculum are contactable via the school administration office.
The school has a number of communication pathways for parents:
- Scheduled Reporting on Student Attainments - Parent / Teacher Conferences are ten minutes in duration and held twice a year in Terms 1 and 3. These conferences provide an opportunity for parents/carers to meet face-to face with their child's teacher to discuss their child's progress, celebrate their achievements, and work together to support their continued growth. Strong home-school partnerships support student outcomes, and we encourage all families to attend. These conferences are held in the Multi-Purpose Sports Hall.
- Academic Report Cards remain an important way for schools and families to communicate about student learning. They provide a snapshot of your child's progress and achievements. Academic reports are distributed to parents/carers on the final day of Terms 2 and 4.
- School Newsletters are a valuable source of information and communication with news on school and student activities and achievements. They are issued / emailed fortnightly on a Friday. Please subscribe here: https://camphillsips.schoolzineplus.com/subscribe.
