At St Lawrence School, we value working in partnership with our families.

With this in mind we have daily times that families can meet with teachers, as outlined below.

The best way to communicate with teachers if you are unable to see them within these times is by email. We will respond to emails within 48 working hours. All emails are available in the staff contact section.

Times to meet with your child's teacher:

From 8:30-8:45 classrooms are open, teachers are accessible for parents to talk to.

Mondays and Fridays from 3:15pm - 3:30pm classrooms are open and teachers are accessible for parents to talk to.

If you need to have a confidential discussion or a conversation that will take more than 15 minutes please email your child's teacher to organise.
