Pastoral Care At least twice a year the ESOL teachers telephone or meet with parents to talk about their child's progress and offer support where needed. If you have any questions or need to talk to the ESOL teachers, please feel welcome to contact us at any time by email or telephone.
Parent Talk Times On fortnightly Tuesday mornings at 9.00am, parents of International Students, children attending the ESOL programme and those who speak English as their second language are invited to join Judith Anthony and JuneGlenysCheyWillimas in the new ESOL rooms for a cup of coffee, a chat with other parents, and to learn about topics relating to the New Zealand education system and the ways we teach and learn at Fendalton School. This is also a time when you are encouraged to ask questions about your child's learning and school events or seek help with completing forms. A list of dates and discussion topics is sent home at the start of each term and is listed below. Preschool children are also welcome to come. JuneAmy ImCheySookCho is available to translate into Korean and Japanese for those who would like this.
