End of Term Conferencing
As the end of the term approaches, we would like to invite you to attend the upcoming End of Term Conferences. This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, achievements, and areas for growth, as well as to connect with our staff to ensure continued success moving forward. Mark this! As you come for your Child’s Conferencing (PTC) this marks their end of term any day of that week, in other wards they cease to come to school.
Conference Dates: 21st -25th April.
Location: Sprout International Christian School
Please sign up for a time slot by [11th April] to secure your preferred time. If you have any specific topics you’d like to address during the conference, feel free to share them in advance.
We look forward to meeting with you and reflecting on a successful term!
Best regards,
Sprout International Christian School
Teachers: Ms. Rachael and Ms. Monique
