Workshops for Parents
Print
Dear Glenealy Parents and Carers,
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide information and support to parents, we are offering a series of Parents as Partners workshops. Each workshop is aimed at providing you with a greater understanding of your child’s education, helping us grow together as a community of learners, whilst supporting your child’s learning at home and in the community.
Below is a table providing information and dates for the Parents as Partners workshops taking place during term 1 and early term 2. All workshops will be held at Glenealy School with the final venue (e.g. School Hall, Library etc.) becoming finalized after we have a clear idea of the total number of participants.
If you are interested in attending any of the following workshops then please inform Jane Shanahan in the school office or via e-mail at enquiry@gs.esf.edu.hk (this will not be necessary for the Yr1 baseline assessments and the Meet the Teacher evening).
Kind Regards,
David Buckley
