Student Guidance Department

Parent Involvement
Working in partnership
The quality of learning experiences we provide for the children can be greatly affected by the level of interest and involvement of parents. It is a policy of the school to encourage contact with parents on matters concerning the progress and welfare of their daughters. A strong and transparent one-to-one relationship is developed and encouraged. A Variety of avenues is provided for interaction and partnership with parents:
Communication and appointments
One of our aims is to encourage communication with parents and children. Three groups of people are involved with a student’s education: the student, the teachers, and the parents. Communication between all parties is, therefore, vital.
- Parents receive their daughter’s timetable and all other regular updates from the school, such as assessment/exam timetables and notices about activities, through the K12 application. Students’ academic and behavior reports are also available on the K12 application. The application Amer is used for all official academic and administrative suggestions and complaints from parents to the school.
- Appointments to see a teacher or other staff member should be made in advance. Please contact the school’s receptionist with a brief description of the reason for the meeting, the student’s name, and the phone number and email address of the parent who will attend the meeting. A meeting will then be arranged, and parents will be informed of the date and time.
- An Orientation Programme is implemented at the start of the academic year.
- Each term, Regular teacher-parent meetings are held. These meetings allow the parents to discuss student progress with teachers and receive recommendations from teachers on how to achieve individual targets.
- Parents may also meet teachers during school hours with prior appointments through the Students Affairs office if they wish to discuss areas that need immediate attention.
- Mothers are welcome to participate in school activities and work alongside students and teachers to achieve our goals.
- We welcome proposals and ideas from parents about enhancing academic levels and/or policy development.
- A suggestion box is available for any suggestions or complaints.
- The school website is updated with important information in the various areas.
How parents can help their daughters (Parental support)
Parents can support their daughters by:
- Taking an interest in what they are doing in school, For example, asking them about their learning and about what happened in school that day.
- Support them in doing their homework, for example, by providing a place and time for them to do it and resources such as books and access to a computer with an Internet connection.
- Attending all Parent-Teacher meetings at school
- They should make sure they eat a good diet (in particular, that they eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school) and get a good night’s sleep.
- By encouraging 100% attendance
- Making it clear how important homework is to academic progress and showing how they value it.
- Supporting the expectations that deadlines will be met and checking that they are.
- By attending different activities, events, or sessions that parents are invited to.
