Teachers set goals for the students at the beginning of each term. The on-going reviews of these goals reflects student's learning. Two report cards are issued at the end of the semesters.
Report cards are set out in the standard format that every child receives in a state school in Queensland. We encourage all parents to stay in contact with the school to keep informed about your child's progress. Our report cards reflect a standardised learning statement for each learning area. The five-point, A-E grade will reflect your child's learning in this area. A personal comment will be written in the overall comments section to reflect your child's attitude to learning and social and emotional development.
All reports are emailed home and can be printed upon request. Meetings to discuss the elements contained in reports can be mutually arranged between yourself and your child's teacher.
TEACHER INTERVIEWS
Thangool State School offers parents/carers the opportunity to discuss your child's educational performance with their teacher(s) during Week 9 of Term 1 and Term 3. Parents/carers are able to make an interview time through the electronic booking system (SOBS). These interviews provide a snapshot of your child's progress and are only short in duration. If you would like to have a longer meeting, please contact your child's teacher to arrange a mutually agreed time. Interviews will begin in the afternoon, while students are supervised by the Principal and specialist staff. We use a consistent Parent-Teacher Interview template to record student data and conversations. These interview forms are only provided to families who have attended an interview. Following the interview, this document is uploaded to your child's school record.
