We believe that communication between home and school is critical. For this to be effective, we ask that parents and carers be mindful that school life is very busy. However there are things that will assist in ensuring that communication is always clear, transparent and reasonable.

Consequently, to ensure clarity around communication whether it is by face to face meetings, phone, or email, families and students are reminded that teachers are not on call 24/7. Any communication with teachers should be done between 8.00am and 4.00pm. Communication outside these times is done at the generosity and discretion of the staff, and is not an expectation.

As such we ask you to be understanding and patient when contacting staff especially during school hours. When phoning individual staff or emailing, we ask that you are aware that a teacher’s first call of duty is teaching and attending to the students in their care. This may mean at times staff are teaching all day, assisting students or in meetings. Hence, there should be no expectation to receive an immediate response. Teachers will endeavour to respond to you between 8.00am and 4.00pm and within 3 days.
