At GIS, achievement is celebrated in a variety of ways appropriate to the age and maturity of the students concerned. In all the grades, teachers have systems in place in their classrooms to acknowledge student development and achievement. Teachers also nominate students who have exhibited an aspect of our LVEP or excelled at a particular activity for acknowledgment by the Principal. A primary focus, with our students, is the development of internal motivators, the ability and desire to develop, contribute and achieve because it is personally rewarding and satisfying to do so.
REPORTING PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENT:
We aim to keep parents informed about the work that their child is doing and their child's progress through:
Homework tasks
A Parent-Teacher-Student Conference held in mid Term 1
A Student-Led conference held in term 2 and a progress report
Two-term reports
Individual appointments, when requested, with or by, the Grade Teacher
School student record book
Parent workshops
If class teachers have any particular concerns about your child they will inform and contact you for an appointment.
