Support for the Parents of Boarding Students

• Regular Contact with DOB • The Director of Boarding is available in term time, and is contactable during the school breaks.

• PSC • Prem school has an active Parent School Community organisation (PSC) and all parents are invited

to participate in the activities of the association when their travels allow them to be available. PSC meetings are streamed so that boarding parents can view the meeting live.

• Parent Teacher Conference • The school holds parent-teacher conferences several times each year. The dates are shown in the

School Calendar. Parents are always welcome to attend, although if they are unavailable a boarding member of staff will represent any parents who cannot be there. Staff will then pass on any relevant comments made during the conference to parents.

• Grade Level Leader • In the senior school there are three Grade Level Leaders. One for Grade 6 - 8, one for G9-10 and

one for Grade 11-12. These Grade Level Leaders are the link between the teachers and the boarding staff for information on the academic progress of boarding students.
