To give parents the very best opportunity to be involved with their child’s education, we conduct formal Parent/Teacher Sharing throughout the year and send home Student Reports. Puckapunyal Primary School uses student reports and formal interviews to report student progress in a useful and comprehensive manner. At any stage of the year, parents and teachers may request an interview to raise a concern and we encourage close links between families & School as we strive to work together to achieve the best outcomes.

During the evaluation process, information about children is gathered from testing programs, anecdotal records, informal observation and parent/teacher interviews.
