OUR COMMUNICATIONS
OUR COMMUNICATIONS
Embedded Files
We feel best results occur when parents / whānau, students and teachers work together and support one another in a shared endeavour. The key to the success of this relationship is effective communication.
Our open door policy means that Parents / whānau are free at any time to make an appointment to meet with any of our team at a mutually convenient time.
From time to time, in a people oriented activity such as education, there will be concerns. When these occur, it is important that all parties involved work together to obtain a solution that is mutually acceptable and best for all concerned.
Our team is always happy to answer questions or queries via email or meet with you to discuss your concerns face to face, whenever possible.

Reporting to Parents
Reporting to Parents
At St Joseph's Waitara we believe in the importance of the voice of learners, whānau and teachers as partners in the reporting process. We believe that information should be current, accurate and informative to whānau and that it should form a part of the learning process for our children. Currently we send home mid and end of year reports (paper copies). Eventually with HERO we will be moving to real time reporting in which you can go in and see your child/children's progress at any time during the year.
