Before you open your child’s report, are you in the right frame of mind? Are your expectations for your son or daughter realistic and in line with their ability? Don’t compare siblings or your friends’ children or yourself as a child, because children learn at different rates Focus on your child’s strengths Take into consideration your child’s effort and attitude to learning, not just the number of A’s and B’s Discuss the report with your child, talking about strengths first before looking at areas that need improvement.

Dear Parents/Carers,
This Thursday, we will have all student
reports uploaded to the Parent Portal. Access
to the portal is via the Good Counsel Primary
Website. Please take the time to read your
child’s report. To give you the best gauge of
where your child is working in relation to the
year level curriculum, many hours of
assessment throughout the semester have
been conducted, as well as the time teachers
have taken to moderate grades between
classes and formulate comments .
The following are some guiding points
when sitting to read your child’s report, taken
from Michael Grose’s Parenting Ideas
Platform.
Before you open your child’s report, are
you in the right frame of mind?
Are your expectations for your son or
daughter realistic and in line with their
ability?
Don’t compare siblings or your friends’
children or yourself as a child, because
children learn at different rates
Focus on your child’s strengths
Take into consideration your child’s
effort and attitude to learning, not just
the number of A’s and B’s
Discuss the report with your child,
talking about strengths first before
looking at areas that need
improvement. Ask for their opinion
about how they performed and discuss
concerns
Should you have concerns with elements of
your child’s report, make contact with your
child’s teacher early next term to discuss. A
reminder that a printed copy of student
reports will be sent home during Week 1 of
next term.

END OF TERM PRAYER
We thank you Lord, for this term.
For the challenges, the successes, and the mistakes from which we have learnt.
Be with us as we spend our time with family and friends.
Give us strength and courage to do what is right; to be witnesses of our faith.
Help us to be practical these holidays, to appreciate what others do for us, to give time
and effort to help others.
To be peacemakers in our family.
Keep us safe in our activities; give us good rest and good fun.
Bring us back refreshed and ready for a new term.
We thank you for our classmates, teachers, parents
And a community that cares for us.
May we be always conscious of you in our lives.
Amen.
