Ohope Beach School - Dream Believe Achieve

Student Led Conferences 2025


Tuesday 16 July 1.00 – 6.30pm

Wednesday 17 July 3.00 – 6.30pm

 

Purpose:

The Student Led Conferences form an important part of Ohope Beach Schools reporting process. SLC’s are a meaningful form of reporting on your child’s learning/progress because it is led by your child and in their own words.  It involves your child fully in their learning.

 

Why do SLC’s?

  • SLC’s are a powerful tool for pupils. ‘The person who does the thinking does the learning’ 

  • Provides an opportunity for students to celebrate and share their learning. 

  • Parents, the child and teacher will set goals to continue their learning in areas that are discussed. 

Time:

A 15 minute time slot is available for each child. This starts with the child sharing their work. When this is completed the teacher will be available to meet with you.


Format:

  Your child leads the SLC. They will endeavour to show you their knowledge / learning through their work. This is primarily contained in their portfolio, but may be on the wall, computer etc. 

Note:

  • Other SLC’s could be occurring in the class at the same time. 
  • Following the SLC the portfolio will stay at school. There will be a mid-year student progress report which will go home after the SLC.

Parents Role:  (This is also the format for how the SLC will proceed)

  • Listen attentively and ask questions about your child’s work.  Be positive.
  • Support your child, but give them ‘think time’ (pauses). Prompt if necessary.
  • Give your child the time they deserve.  It is their time to share their learning,  


NOTE: THIS IS A VERY GENERAL Overview OF WHAT Student-Led conferences are, and how they operate – each teacher and class can be slightly different and incorporate their own ideas and processes as part of the Conference. 

We look forward to your child sharing their learning journey with you.
