Dear Parents/Carers,

Your child’s mid-year student report will be available on XUNO from 4:00pm Friday, 27th June 2025. The mid-year Student/Parent/Teacher 3-Way Conversations are scheduled for Week 11 of this Term on Monday 30th June, Tuesday 1st July, Wednesday 2nd July, from 3.30pm to 5.00pm.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss your child’s progress so far this year with your child’s teacher(s).  The conversation bookings are 10 minutes long.  As always, you are more than welcome to arrange a different time with your child’s class teacher or specialist teachers to meet and discuss matters as necessary throughout the year.

It is expected that your child is part of these conversations, as it is important that they can talk about themselves and to hear the teacher’s and your expectations.

Student/Parent/Teacher 3 Way Conversations bookings are open for families to book a suitable time with the classroom teacher using the XUNO Parent Portal: https://werribeeps.xuno.com.au. 

Bookings are now open and will remain open until Monday 30th June. Once you have logged into the XUNO portal, please follow the below instructions: click on “School” and select “Parent Teacher Interviews”. Select your child’s name. Select the preferred time.

If you wish to have a phone conversation instead of in person, then select the Online Option (this will be a phone call only) and in the Comments Box please enter your preferred contact number. If you would like to make a time to meet with any of our specialist teachers then please send the school an email requesting a time that suits on Monday 30th June, Tuesday 1st July, or Wednesday 2nd July from 3.30pm to 5.00pm. They will get back to you to confirm a time.

This information is for parents, carers and guardians about the Tutor Learning Initiative, which will support students in their learning in 2021.

The 2020 school year has been an extraordinary and challenging one for every school community.

Many Victorian students spent much of Terms 2 and 3 this year learning remotely and Victorian schools and their communities have made an exceptional effort to provide continuity of teaching and learning to our students during this time.

During Term 4, schools across Victoria have been focused on supporting students’ mental health and wellbeing, in addition to assisting students to readjust to on-site learning. Teachers have also been focusing on assessing student learning, addressing individual learning gaps and identifying those students who need extra support for their learning, using classroom-based observation and assessments.

We know that the remote learning experience was different for every student. While some students thrived, some students may not have engaged as fully with remote learning. For most of our students, regular high-quality teaching in 2021 will be enough to help them progress to the expected level of learning. Some students will benefit from additional intensive learning support in 2021.

As you may be aware, in response to this, the Victorian Government is investing $250 million in the Tutor Learning Initiative to enable schools across Victoria to engage around 4,100 teachers as tutors in 2021 to support students who need extra assistance with their learning. Schools will determine how this initiative is best implemented for their students and will ensure that students will get this support in a way that minimises disruptions to other learning or school activities.

By engaging additional teachers to support children with intensive learning, classroom teachers will have greater capacity to ensure that all other students’ achievement, engagement and wellbeing needs are met, so that all students receive the support they need in 2021.

Further information about the Tutor Learning Initiative, and how it will be implemented for students who need individual learning support in our school, will be issued before students begin tutoring in 2021.

During Term 4, schools will be working with students to understand their experience of remote learning and their return to onsite schooling.

If you are concerned about your child’s engagement in their learning, while learning at home or following their return to school please contact your school.
