Dear Parents / Carers,
A strong partnership between school and family plays an important role in improving student learning and maintaining student engagement with school through positive attendance and respectful behaviour. At Hume Central Secondary College we aim to maintain strong connections with all families to ensure that we are working together to support our students. Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences are an essential element of this relationship.
