Some simple things you can do to help your child at school!

• Talk to your children about what they are learning about at school. Ask questions about school that can’t be answered with a yes or no.
• Read with a to your child for up to ten minutes every day. Make this time stress free. Don’t worry about helping them sound out words etc etc. Just enjoy the story and enjoy some relaxing one on one time with your children- this can be at any age-it still helps and if English isn’t your first language have the discussion in your own language.
• Keep in regular touch with your child’s teacher and take some time to visit the classroom and touch base with the teacher, at least once or twice a term.
• Utlise our Respectful, Responsible Real learner expectations at home. This will reinforce what is happening at school.
