Communication

Communication between home and school should be frank and open. We encourage parents to contact teachers or the Principal or a member of the Board if they have concerns about

(1) their sons’ progress or
(2)   events at school or
(3)   school policy or any other matters of concern.

Parents should get to know their boys’ form-teachers and keep them informed about any issues that could impact on learning. We have an ‘open-door policy’ and we welcome parents and visitors to the school at any time.

A newsletter is posted home - usually every 3-4 weeks. It contains infor­mation about recent and coming events and activities, student achievements, board meetings and other items of interest.

School reports and other official communications will normally be post­ed directly to parents. From time to time, more detailed newsletters on specific topics are posted out also.

In addition to this posted information, we regularly update our website, www.mcglashan.school.nz, with news and other items of interest.

Day to day matters such as absence notes, requests and explanations are best handled by your son’s form teacher.  He or she also has responsi­bility for his pastoral care and general progress. The form teacher is a good first point of contact if you have any concerns about your son’s progress and we encourage you to maintain close links with him or her.
