Reporting to Parents
Both students and parents have access to SEESAW, which is an online reporting application - a bit like Instagram.
The Seesaw app is described as a student-driven digital portfolio. It empowers students of any age to create, reflect, collaborate and share. It allows for family members to use the Seesaw app to keep up to date with their child’s learning, and easily communicate between school and home. It also allows for information to be shared with parents or guardians to celebrate successes. It has been very successful since its introduction in 2018, and is a great way to include Parents in the child's day to day activities and learning.
Reports will be available via our Parent Access Module (PAM) in the latter part of the 2nd and 4th Terms. These written reports along with the Seesaw app (which provides digital portfolio of student learning) combine to form part of our Informing and Reporting process. Formal Parent / Teacher /Child Conversations will be held twice per year. These conversations provide a forum to celebrate learning goals achieved, and set goals for future learning.
We do emphasise that parents are encouraged to make a time to chat with their child’s classroom teacher about their child’s progress at any time throughout the year.

- The beauty of a digital app like Seesaw is the ease of communicating and sharing students learning experiences with their parents and guardians.
- Each student gets their very own profile and can add learning experiences and even record what they have learnt during an activity. This can then be shared with their parents.
- Parents who have downloaded the Seesaw app will be notified of their own child’s work.
- All data sent and received is safe and secure.
- Parents can comment on the photos as well
