Parents, students and teachers had met virtually this term using video conferencing software Zoom, as parents are still banned from school grounds as a social distancing measure to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Parents of our Year 7 to 11 girls were able to select booking times most convenient for them between 3.30pm and 7.30pm and communicate with each of their daughter's subject teachers from the convenience of their own home.

Although face-to-face meetings do allow more interaction, statistics showed that more parents were able to attend online meetings.

The silver lining of the whole ­pandemic is that we are more familiar with video conferencing technology and not afraid to use it more often and we as a school have found new and innovative ways to communicate with our parents and ensure that they stay updated with their child’s academic status.
