Parent Teacher Interviews

HSPA Secondary Parent Teacher Interviews (PTI) are conducted both ONSITE and ONLINE.

This is to cater for our large drawing area. We understand that it can be difficult for families who live a distance from the school to attend onsite.

An email will be sent close to PTI dates, to notify parents when they can commence booking. Our community traditionally books very early, so it is recommended that you book early to ensure maximum flexibility & availability of times.

Go to HSPA Sentral to book interview times with applicable teachers. This can also be completed using the Sentral Portal App.  Sentral Parent Portal instructions for booking interviews are here, if required

 

ONSITE PTIs

Are booked via the Sentral Portal. These are held in the HSPA Hall. We ask that parents are mindful to adhere to their alloted time slots, to ensure that other families are not disadvantaged.

Yr 7 to 12 - ONSITE PTIs

 

GOOGLE MEET / ONLINE PTIs

Are also booked via the Sentral Portal. These are via Google Meet. Detailed instructions on how to access these are below. We ask that parents are mindful to adhere to their allotted time slots, to ensure that other families are not disadvantaged.

Yr 7 to 11 - ONLINE PTIs

 

 

Online Parent Teacher Interviews. These links can be used any time you organise a video conference with a teacher.

Instructions prior to parent/ teacher Google Meet interview: 

  1. Create a Google account if you don’t have one (this is free), ensure your username contains your surname to make it easy for teachers to identify you. You may not be admitted into an interview if your username does not easily identify you. Once logged in, you can join the meeting via the Google Meet website.
  2. For official HSPA Parent Teacher Online Interviews - Go to HSPA Sentral to book interview times with applicable teachers. This can also be completed using the new Sentral Portal App.  Sentral Parent Portal instructions for booking interviews are here, if required.
  3. Go to the Staff Google Meet Link Directory below to find links to all teachers. These same links will work anytime you’d like to have a video conference meeting with a teacher.
  4. We recommend you right button click on the teacher's name to 'copy link address', then paste the links for all applicable teachers in a separate document. This will speed up the process of switching between interviews on the PTI evening.

Instructions during Google Meet interviews:

  • Please ensure you have access to a device with a camera and microphone
  • Please choose a quiet, well-lit environment for the interviews 
  • Please adhere to the 5-minute time limit, during official parent/teacher interviews
  • Make sure you are logged into google on your browser and open your list of links to teacher's meetings 
  • Click on the links for the appropriate teacher at each scheduled time 
  • Please exit and enter meetings promptly 

 

If you would like to meet with Senior Executive, Head Teacher Wellbeing, or Careers Adviser, please use their Google Meet links. As there are no appointment bookings for these staff, you may have to wait to enter these meetings or email them in advance.
