Key Events at Panyaden

First Day of School/Back-to-School:  During the “Back-to-School” event as part of the first day at the start of the school year, families meet their child’s advisory teacher who will provide the necessary information for a smooth start to the school year.

The advisory teacher will hand out your child’s schedule, the “THINK about Technology” form and your child’s language selection form. Please return the completed forms to your child’s advisory teacher by the end of the event.

The advisory teacher will also guide parents in choosing a parent representative. Here are a few things parent representatives can do to support teachers: 

• • Create a Line group for parents with children in the same classroom, if they don’t already have one, and add new parents when needed. The advisory teacher or other subject teachers will not be part of such Line groups. 

  • Repeating or reinforcing messages coming from teachers, such as reminders to bring something to school for a particular day or activity. 

  • Encourage parents to talk to teachers directly if they have any concerns. 

  • Bring up to teachers concerns they know are shared by a number of parents 

Meet the Teacher: Is usually held in the first month of the school year and provides an opportunity for parents to meet teachers from every subject area and the coordinators. You will be able to go through a shortened version of your child’s school day and meet all of their subject teachers.

Student-Involved Parent-Teacher Conferences: Student-involved parent-teacher conferences take place twice per school year. Once in Term 1 and once in Term 2. These conferences are designed to provide valuable insight into your child’s progress at school. Students should attend these conferences together with their parents. During student-involved parent-teacher conferences, students are also encouraged to share their digital growth portfolios and growth in the four areas of development, the Bhavana 4. 

Parent Information Sessions and Workshops: The school offers a wide range of information sessions and workshops to help you support your child at home, introduce you to the programmes your child will be studying and discuss various strategies to help you in your role as the primary educator of your child. 

High School Graduation: The formal graduation ceremony and recognition will take place at the end of the four-year high school journey in Year 13. Parents, guests and students are welcome to attend this event with an invitation. 

Year 9 Moving On Ceremony: The formal moving-on ceremony and recognition will take place at the end of the three-year middle school journey in Year 9. Parents, guests and students are welcome to attend this event with an invitation.
