The teacher aide also serves as an interpreter for Mandarin-speaking families and staff during events like Group Conferences, Verbal Report Evenings, or for urgent school matters like enrollment or guidance. The Head of ESOL, ELE, will notify the aide when their interpreting services are required. If an interpreting request occurs during class time, it takes priority. The aide may also be asked to translate documents. All translation requests must be requested through ELE. Conversations during interpreting sessions are strictly confidential and can only be shared with those present. However, conversations at Group Conferences and Verbal Report Evenings do not need to be kept confidential.
Please see the folder that contains all documentations for Group Conference and Verbal Report Evening timings.
