Goal+4


 * 4. Family and whanau to actively participate in their child's learning. **

__**Success Indicators:** __
 * ====Family and whanau understand the importance and place of ICT in preparing students for future focused learning.====
 * ====School actively promotes ways in which family and whanau can access and interact with their child's learning.====
 * ====Family and whanau connect and interact with their child's learning online.====

__**Evidence:**__

 * * ====A survey was carried out to find out how many students in the school had access to a computer, access to the internet, and whether they were aware of our school website and were interested in having a secure access area for their child/s classroom work. [|scan0001.jpg] The results of this survey clearly indicate that parents/whanau want their child/rens learning to be shared with them. Therefore, St. Jospehs Catholic School is currently looking at creating secure wiki pages for each classroom where the students can display work that they have been doing in class. It is envisaged that these wiki pages will eventually be connected to our school website where they can be accessed and shared with parents/whanau. This will enable students to share their learning on a regular basis in another format without waiting until the end of term when they take their exercise books home.==== ||  ||
 * * ====Parents discussed and signed cybersafety agreements with children which were returned and filed at school. Cybersafety activities within the classroom support the agreement responsibilities.==== ||  ||
 * * ====The school newsletter and website are shared with the community and are continually updated by two senior students who are responsible for this. **﻿**====
 * ====Maths games are shared through the school website for students to access at home and we will add literacy links so students can access these outside of school hours.==== ||  ||
 * * ====Exercise books go home once a term, so this enables parents/whanau to see evidence of their child/rens learning within the classroom environment and see the variety of learning strategies being used. e.g. graphic organisers. [|hockey_063_(11).jpg]==== ||  ||
 * ====Information shared at Board of Trustees Meetings once a month====
 * ====Cluster sharing at community days e.g. Eggstravaganza [|hockey_063.jpg] These days provide other ways in which family and whanau can access and interact with their child's learning. Parents/whanau may also contribute photographs which they have taken on the day which can be uploaded onto the school's website by the two senior students who are in charge of this.====
