P or t f esenta tion

Our Parent-Teacher

Conferences
(PTCs) this end
ofterm had a

slightly
different structure

and
format. On Tuesday
26 th andWednesday 27 th ,

we gave the students the rare
opportunity to show their understanding

of the criteria for good effort and in apply-
ing them to their own and others’ work in
a spectacular show of portfolios to parents

in the classrooms. Portfolios are a collec-
tion of pupils’ work representing a selec-

tion of performance. A portfolio may be a
folder containing a child’s best pieces and
the pupil’s evaluation of the strengths and

weaknesses of those pieces. It may contain
one or more work-in-progress that illus-

trate(s) the creation of an idea - such as an
essay evolving through various stages of
planning, drafting, revision and publishing.

Parents who signed up and attended the
event had a lot to say about our students’

confidence and the depth of their knowl-
edge and application.
It was breathtaking!
