Two-way communication

A teacher of a composite year 4/5 class is committed to establishing and maintaining effective written communication with the parents/carers of each of her students.

Ross Park is the oldest government primary school in Alice Springs. It has almost 400 students of which 25 per cent are Indigenous. The teacher has been at the school for over four years after previously teaching in western Queensland. In her composite class of year 4 and 5 students she has been maintaining daily communication with every one of her students' parents/carers in order to alert them to behavioural and learning issues.
