Hawthorndene Primary School actively encourages close contact between parents and the class teacher. If you wish to talk to your child’s teacher, please schedule a time to do so. Mondays after school are scheduled for staff meetings so please select another time.

Reporting on student achievement is critical to students, parents and teachers alike. The following components form the basis of reporting a student’s progress to parents.

Term 1
Open House
This is held early in the term. Opportunity is provided to walk through open classrooms, meet the current teacher, connect with past teachers and establish connections with other HPS families.

Interviews
Face to face, online and/or phone conversations will be offered towards the end of the term to review student progress.

NAPLAN (National Assessment Program- Literacy and Numeracy)
Students in Year 3 and 5 participate in NAPLAN testing in Term 1. Results of the assessment are communicated to parents in Term 3.

Term 2
Written Report
Mid semester report outlining students’ progress against the relevant Achievement Standards of the Australian Curriculum sent home to all parents.

Term 3
A school community evening is planned to showcase learning and strengthen community connections. 

Term 4
Written Report
