Term 1 Interim Report Cards
Term 1 Interim Report Cards will be issued to parents/carers via email on Friday 4th April. Please ensure you are regularly checking the Daymap Parent Connect Portal for your child's assessment due dates, drafting feedback and final assessment results. The Term 1 Report card makes an interim judgement based upon your student's progress towards assessment at this juncture.
Please contact your child's teacher via Daymap message or email with any questions or concerns about Term 1 assessment results or your child's ongoing progress.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Your first opportunity to meet with your student's teachers is on Tuesday 6th May from 12:00pm - 7:00pm

Tuesday 6th May is a non-curriculum day with no timetabled classes in operation.

If you are unable to make suitable arrangements for your student, supervision will be provided by Teacher Aides for students to engage in independent study in the Library for the day.

Our students are encouraged to join their parents/carers for these interviews to discuss Term 1 achievements and Semester 1 goals. Parent/Teacher Interviews are also a great opportunity to discuss future Subject Offerings with the specialist teachers. Directional signs will be in place to direct all visitors to the interview venue in the Performing Arts Building.
If you are unable to attend Parent/Teacher Interviews or your child's teachers are booked out, phone interviews are available from Tuesday 6th - Friday 9th May. These can be arranged directly with relevant teachers. Please contact the College via phone or email to be connected with your child's teachers.
Bookings will open early in Term Two (Wednesday 23rd April) via Daymap. All parents and carers will be notified via email and social media once bookings are open. If you are experiencing any technical issues, please contact tech@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au for assistance.
