Interviews 

Whanāu - Kaiako interviews are held at the end of Term One and provide an opportunity for a verbal report on progress. They provide an opportunity to discuss each student’s progress with course teachers. Students are encouraged to attend these evenings with their whanāu. 

Near the middle of Term 3, Linc Teacher Conferences are held with the Linc Teachers, whanāu and students during an extended school day.  The purpose of the conferences is to provide an overview of how things are progressing and discuss student goals.  Whanāu are able to email specific course related questions to course teachers.

Whanāu will be individually contacted if there is any concern about a student's progress or behaviour. Likewise, whanāu should feel free to contact teachers if they have any concerns.
