The work habits each student has been graded upon are described in greater detail for you below:

Student-Parent-Teacher Interviews

On Tuesday 13 October the College has Student Parent Teacher Interviews scheduled from 9:00am to 8:00pm. These interviews are designed to provide an opportunity for students, parents/carers and teachers to discuss progress throughout Term 3 and as a time for setting learning goals for Term 4. There will be no scheduled classes for students on this day.

The Student Parent Teacher Interviews will be held online via Microsoft Teams, to ensure that the College is adhering to social distancing protocols and reducing the number of adults onsite.

Bookings will be made available for parents/carers via PTO as of Monday 21 September, however, to provide teachers the opportunity to adequately prepare for each interview, the online booking process will close for parent/carers at 9:00am on Friday 9 October.

The process for joining each Student Parent Teacher Interview will be different to the process used at the beginning of Term 3. Parents/carers and students will be required to join each Student Parent Teacher Interview via the link for the respective teacher available from the PTO Portal (see example in image below).


Students are expected to use their College MacBook to join each Microsoft Teams meeting and be present for the duration of all booked interviews with their parent/carer from a suitable place at home. Students are expected to be dressed appropriately for the interview as outlined in the Microsoft Teams Student & Parent/Carer Guidelines.

All interviews will be ten minutes duration and parents/carers are asked to adhere to these booked times and abide by the Parent/Carer/Guardian Code of Conduct during Student Parent Teacher Interviews. Interpreters will be made available for parents/carers as required for Student Parent Teacher Interviews.

In the event that families do not have internet access at home, the parent/carer is asked communicate with the subject teacher directly, prior to 9:00am Friday October 9 and a phone call will be made by the teacher to the parent during the scheduled interview time on Tuesday 13 October.

More information regarding how to access PTO and book requested interviews for your child through the PTO platform, will be made available to in the week commencing Monday 21 September.

A copy of the Student Parent Teacher Interview Policy and Parent/Carer/Guardian Code of Conduct is attached below for your reference.

Semester 2 Examinations

During this pandemic, among the top priorities of our College is to avoid contributing to any unnecessary stress for our students. With this in mind we have decided to cancel Semester 2 Examinations for Year 8 to Year 10 for 2020.

Another consideration for making this decision is the regained learning time at the end of the term. This extra time will be dedicated to revising and consolidating previous content covered.  

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email aray@crccs.vic.edu.au or through Direqt Message.
