Dear Parents

Industry Reports: Grades 4 - 7 

While some tests and tasks have been written this term, this report reflects on your son's start to the year, in terms of attitude, approach, and conduct in class, so please do discuss these gradings with him - particularly unpack where the grading is not as good as should be expected.

These Grade 4 to 7 Industry Reports will be released to your son’s profile on MyBishopsLife on Monday 27th March. The Industry Reports may be accessed by selecting Reports from the Academic menu on MyBishopsLife 
To view a breakdown of your son’s Semester 1 marks to date, please select the Academic menu and choose Marks from the drop-down provided. On the Marks screen, please click on each listed subject to view a detailed breakdown of your son’s results.

Parent - Teacher Meetings: Grades 3 – 7 

These meetings are with your son's Form teacher to gain holistic feedback. It is also a chance for you to connect in person with the Form teacher, ask questions and provide any information that might be pertinent.

Parent Interviews will be held on Wednesday, the 29th March from 14:30 and on Thursday the 30th March from 13:00 (school closes at 12:30). Grade 3s interviews will also take place on Tuesday 28th March. These parent meetings will take place in person in the Form Teacher's classroom and will be 10/15 minutes long. Please complete the electronic booking form to secure a meeting time with your son’s Form teacher. Click HERE. If you wish to set up a meeting with a specific subject teacher to discuss a particular matter, please email that teacher directly to make an appointment to meet.

Hopefully both the reports and your meetings will be useful to you in gauging your son's attitude and approach and also serve as an opportunity to connect personally.

Kind regards
