The objectives of Parent-Teacher Interviews at Sirius College are to:

• report on students’ achievements and learning processes,
• give an opportunity for parents and teachers to explore problem areas,
• collaborate with parents to support students’ learning.

At Sirius College, in order to meet and discuss a child’s achievements and needs, a close relationship between the school and home is provided by means of planned personal contact, phone calls, home visits.

As Sirius College, we sincerely try to establish a very close relationship with parents as a part of our school culture. Also, we believe that such communication enables the school to provide the best learning environment possible for the students and that this dialogue makes us different and special.

As parents, you are expected to attend all designated parents-teacher interviews to monitor your child’s behavioural and academic progress.

You are also expected to apply the discipline and school policies approach to your child in a similar way to the school. In this context, parents should not make any negative comments about the College in the presence of their children as this will make them dislike the school. The school is the most important factor in a student’s academic life.
