Parent Teacher Interviews

May 11, 2023

Book to meet your child’s subject teachers.

Kia ora parents and caregivers,

We would like to welcome you to book to attend the parent teacher interviews with subject teachers.

  • Tuesday 9th May

  • Thursday 18th May

  • Monday 22nd May

To accommodate the interviews, school will finish at 2:20pm on those days (after period 4) and the interviews will run from 4pm – 7.30pm all on site at Wellington College.

Where will the in-person interviews take place?

This year the interviews will be held in various classrooms around the school. Please see the school map for rooming to help you book interviews. The classrooms are indicated next to the teacher’s name when you book.

Note that due to the building programme at Wellington College parking will be challenging. Please consider parking offsite.

Tips for booking (see below for how to make the appointments)

  • You can find the names of your young person’s teachers on the parent portal.

  • We encourage your young person to come along for the interview.

  • Our suggestion is to have a 5 minute break between interviews to ensure you can get to the next meeting in time.

  • When booking, check the map so you can book interviews in a logical order.

  • There are no specific nights for year groups. Please just choose the evening that suits you best.

  • These interviews are focused on meeting subject teachers. Please do notbook a slot with your young person’s tutor teacher. Due to limited slots for our students, please only book one slot per family for each student.

  • Please note that there will not be interviews for Year 11 Life Skills.

What can I expect in the interview?

Each subject teacher typically has 100 – 150 students, so we are unable to meet for longer than 5 minutes. Because it is a short space of time, we suggest this structure for the interview, which will be led by the teacher:

  • What is going well

  • Something to work on or to develop

  • Any questions from the parents/caregivers

These interviews are a valuable opportunity to connect and look forward to the rest of the year.

You may like to review your young person’s Term 1 reports prior to the interview. These are available through the parent portal.
