Parent Interviews 2026
2026-07-31 | Forest Crescent Primary School, 83 Forest Crescent, Thornlie, WA, 6108, Australia
The Department of Education has recently introduced greater flexibility for schools in scheduling Reporting to Parents meetings. Following consultation and planning, Forest Crescent Primary School intends to utilise this flexibility to provide a dedicated day for parent meetings on Friday, 31 July.
Please note that Friday, 31 July, will not operate as a regular school day. Similar to a School Development Day, students will not attend school on this date, and families will need to make alternative arrangements for their child/ren.
The purpose of this approach is to provide meaningful opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss student progress, informed by Semester 1 written reports, while also supporting manageable workload practices for staff.
Forest Crescent Primary will share further information with families regarding interview bookings and operational arrangements as the date approaches.
Families who require care on this day may wish to access our Out of School Hours Care provider, Camp Australia.

Two of these days are before the school year starts for students, and one day is after the school year ends for students. A Department term dates calendar can not be provided, as each public school develops its own calendar.

There are six school development days that students do not attend:

Two of these days are before the school year starts for students, and one day is after the school year ends for students.
Each school schedules another three days throughout the year in consultation with its school council/board and school community.

Kindly, Year 1-2 classrooms, send lunch monitors to collect lunches from the canteen as per usual at 12:20 p.m.
From the senior carnival, faction captains and student councillors from each faction are selected to go to the canteen at 12:25 p.m. to collect pre-ordered lunches and bring them back to faction bays, where teachers will distribute them.

Message from Mrs Horan
Our school’s Athletics carnival is fast approaching and is to be held this Friday, 17th October 2025. Please read the following messages for the children, and I look forward to having your support on the day.
Messages for children
If you colour your hair, you must do it at home. Please do not bring sprays to school, and also, spike shoes cannot be worn. Please wear your faction shirt. Two water bottles are better than one whenever you come to school for a sporting event.
Please apply sunscreen at home for the juniors and at recess time for the seniors, and reapply at lunchtime. At the time of this message, Friday is going to be 28 degrees!
At the start of the day, the Junior Primary will come down to the undercover area and the grass area to set up their factions. This needs to be done as soon as possible, so be ready to come down when the siren sounds. I would like to start the first event by 9am.
The senior children are not allowed on the oval during recess time. When the siren goes at the end of recess, go to your class and then come down to this area to line up in your factions, ready for your marching. The carnival for you begins at approximately 11.30am. The march past will start as soon as the Junior Primary carnival is over.
The March past is also an opportunity to score points for your faction, and the staff will be looking at faction shirts, hats, neat lines, cheering, and smiles.
You can eat lunch with your family. For Junior children, your parent or caregiver must pick you up from your classroom. Lunch is at 12:30 pm – 1 pm.
Have fun on the day, show great sportsmanship, and do your best.
