Student Led Conferences 2024

At Pacific, our student-led conferences are similar to parent-teacher conferences, but the student is present and in charge of leading the discussion.

• The teacher acts as a facilitator for the discussion
• The student presents their work and guides the discussion
• The parents listen and speak with their child about his or her academic and social progress and needs

These conferences allow students to be a part of the conversation about their academic and social goals and are an opportunity to discuss how the teacher and parents can help their child succeed.

The agenda for the discussion focuses on:

• Their strengths
• What their goals are
• What they’re proud of
• Where they still need to develop

Student-led conferences encourage students to think critically about their abilities and achievements and help students develop skills they’ll use long after they’ve finished school.

The Benefits of Student Led Conferences are:

1. Increased Parent Involvement
2. Boosted Student Confidence and Engagement
3. A better picture of student achievement
4. More information for teachers

In Prep – Year 5 our Student Led Conferences will be held in Week 9. You will be sent a link to book a time to meet with your child’s teacher. We look forward to seeing you! Thanks so much for supporting your child.
