At the beginning of the year, your child will be issued with a ‘communication diary" to be used as a home/school communication book. This is to establish communication channels between parents/carers and teaching staff. We encourage you to use this book on a daily basis, to exchange ideas and to inform teachers of significant happenings for your child. Teachers really appreciate a parent’s daily comments in this book and value the information that comes from home about the child’s health matters, sleep issues, habits, and preferences and so on. Messages to other members of your child’s team can also be communicated through the home/school book.
The open policy of the school encourages informal communication supported by the following:
- Newsletters (twice a term by either email or hardcopy)
- Teacher-Parent communication diary
- Individual Curriculum Planning
- PATH planning
- Celebration of Learning days
- Bundaberg Special School Facebook page
- P & C Committee Meetings
We encourage parents/carers to ensure contact information is kept up to date. All notification of changes to phone numbers, addresses, medications, respite needs, alternative contacts or guardianship should be made to administration. Our office is open 8am - 4pm each school day.
