The Student Led Conferences last Tuesday provided a great opportunity for students to share their passion for learning with their parents. It was wonderful to see so many parents fully engaged with their children's learning journey. Both as a parent and as a principal it was a great day.
As we are always looking to improve it would be appreciated if you could fill in this brief survey about SLC so that we can make them even better in future.
