Parent Teacher Conferences – all students

August 13, 2026

Powered By Hail

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Tuesday 25 August. Students will not attend school on this day in order to accommodate these important conferences.

Parents and whānau from all year groups are invited to meet with our teaching staff to discuss any concerns or issues with student academic progress on Tuesday 25 August. These will be valuable sessions for both families, students and teachers to ensure students are well prepared as we move into the latter part of the academic year.

Conferences will run between 9am and 5pm.

These conferences will be held in person at Burnside High School or can take place online.

  • Conferences in person run between 11am and 12.30pm and again between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

  • Online-conferences run between 9am and 10.30am and also between 4pm and 5pm.
