Learner Conferences (ie Parent-Teacher Interviews) – Tuesday 23May 3.30pm-6.30pm
Learner Conferences for all Year 7-12 subjects (other than Year 7/8 Core Studies) will be conducted in the Sports Centre from 3:30pm to 6.30pm on Tuesday 23 May 2023. Interviews will be of ten minutes duration.
Learner Conferences will open for parent bookings through Sia - Parent Lounge - PT Interviews at 8:00am on Wednesday 10 May and close at 3:00pm on Thursday 18 May.
Please note that the following teachers will be unavailable on the date of the conferences: Trevor Barrett, Deb Bolam, Tony Hogan, Steve McKay, Craig Corpe, Shelley Allen, Jo Thomson and Kev Crowley. Please contact these teachers individually if you would like to arrange an appointment with them.
Our teachers work hard to provide detailed feedback through Sia. This information is valuable, and parents are encouraged to take the time to review their child’s assessment through Sia - My Students - Grades as shown below prior to the interviews. If you are having trouble logging into Sia, please contact Shalom IT.
Students are encouraged to attend interviews along with their parents. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

SIA – LOG ON NOW! GET THE PHONE APP!
‘Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.’ -Warren Buffet
A parent’s role in the education of their child is vital. Student outcomes will be maximised when parents and teachers are both involved in their child’s education and have positive interactions. Sia is a fantastic way for parents to be fully informed about student progress, assessment due dates, news items, upcoming events, assessment results etc.
Sia, and the Shalom phone app, have been available to parents since the beginning of 2022. Currently, our parent login rate is slightly lower than the end of last year. We would like all our parents to be successfully logged into Sia as soon as possible. Attached in the link below is a Parent “Everything You Need To Know About Sia’ Guide which includes how to log in for the first time. The phone app is super-convenient – a must-have for parents!
Our IT team will have sent the login details for Sia to all new parents to the school at the beginning of the year. If you have misplaced these details, or are having technical difficulties, please contact our Shalom IT department via email at shalomit@shalomcollege.com or phone 41558131 during office hours 8am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday.
