As a College we welcome your involvement in
your child’s education. There are a number of ways in which you can communicate
with staff members at the College.
It is extremely important that you also keep
your contact details, including your email address, up-to-date to ensure
effective facilitation of communication between the College and parents and
vice versa.
Parents
communicating with the College
Telephone
If you wish to speak with a member of the
leadership team or an administration staff member please call the College on (07) 4085 5333 and ask
for the person you wish to speak with. Both campus administration offices are
staffed and will direct your call where necessary.
Email
Staff email addresses have been published on
our website under the Our staff section. If you are uncertain as to who you
need to email please call the school and they will support you with your
inquiry.
Face-to-face
meetings
If you wish to meet with your child’s teacher,
a member of the leadership team or any other staff member please contact the
school to make an appointment. Although we will endeavour to meet with you as
soon as possible, please be advised, it may not always be possible to meet with
you on the same day as your request.
The College
or staff communication with parents or carers
College staff will utilise a number of
communication strategies to ensure effective communication to parents or
carers.
Parent-teacher
(student progress) meetings
At the College we provide you two
opportunities a year for you to meet with your child’s teacher or teachers to
discuss their academic progress. These meetings are generally held in early
term 2 and early term 4. Bookings are made via our online booking system that
is communicated to parents at least a week before the scheduled meetings.
Telephone
A staff member will call you for one of two
reasons:
- They need to
contact you urgently due to a medical or behavioural issue.
- Provide you
information, seek verbal permission or update you on your child’s progress.
Email
We are using email addresses more frequently
to disseminate information to parents. Email addresses are also sometimes used
to contact you if we have not been able to contact you via your contact number.
Social Media
(Facebook)
Kuranda District State College has its own
Facebook page where we share all the great things that are happening at the
College. Our Facebook page is also used to distribute whole-College or campus
specific information to parents and carers but also the wider community. Have
