Parent Teacher Interviews Term 2 2026

Kia ora e te Whānau

Parent Teacher Interviews Thursday 11 June and Tuesday 16 June

We look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming Parent Teacher Interviews. We wish to thank you for working together with us so that all Naenae College students experience success and build a meaningful pathway for their future.

These are subject based and we believe that these interviews enable us to sustain the positive learning partnership that exists between our students, their whānau, and the school.

We will be holding our Parent Teacher Interviews on Thursday 11 June and Tuesday 16 June upstairs in the English and Maths classrooms. They will be 10 minute interviews with your young person’s subject teachers. The interviews will run in three sessions from 2.00pm until 3.40pm, 4pm until 5.20pm and the final session will run from 6pm until 8pm.

Normal school classes will conclude at 12.30pm on this day. We will run a rotated timetable like we do for all our early finish days to ensure the same classes are not missed. This will be automatically changed on student timetables for these days.

Bookings for Parent Teacher Interviews are now open on our SchoolBridge App and will close at 5pm on Wednesday 10 June. If you or your young person have not downloaded the SchoolBridge App, I have included information on how to do this below. This is our main form of communication between home and school, so please ensure you go on and see real time report comments and assessment results and feedback for individual subjects.

Once you open SchoolBridge you will see the conferences button, from there you follow the prompts. We have attached a sheet visually showing step by step instructions.

It is recommended when booking your interviews that you book a break between each interview to ensure the ease of moving between rooms to the next teacher. This makes the running of the event a lot smoother for everyone.

For security reasons, we ask that people enter the building via the main entrance near the library and administration area – There will be signs directing you.

We look forward to meeting with you to ensure that your young person has positive outcomes for their learning and academic achievement.
