From the Assistant Principal - Teaching, Learning and Wellbeing.

THE FOCUS IS ON LEARNING

Today we celebrated the wonderful achievements of our 2022 HSC Distinguished Achievers. The HSC examinations are a milestone within the life of many students and the culmination of their schooling life. Our Dux of 2022 Hayley O’Connor attributed her success to one key element; 

“I’ll let you all in on a little secret, something quite simple. Hard work. If you consistently work hard the HSC stops looking like a terrifying test and becomes an opportunity to learn. To grow. To become better than the person you were yesterday.”

Her insight into the opportunities provided to her at St Andrews College, combined with hard work and effort were the key to success that she has passed on to the community. The deliberate choice to learn is fundamental to the success of every student and St Andrews College harnesses these opportunities for success and continues to provide quality learning experiences for all students,

We remain focused on learning. We are committed to providing quality feedback for all students using the following Steps in Learning.

In 2023 the College will continue to engage students in many opportunities to learn and build students’ confidence in their own abilities. We wish all our students every success in the year ahead.

LITERACY AND NUMERACY AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM.

The College will continue to offer Literacy and Numeracy intervention tutoring after school. This program runs from 2:50 pm - 3:50 pm and invites selected students who require further assistance in the area of literacy and numeracy. This program is vital in supporting students in Years 7 to Years 10 to be on track to meet the Minimum Standards requirements for the HSC. We encourage selected students to take on this opportunity for learning. 

COMMUNICATION ABOUT LEARNING

The classroom teacher is the first point of contact for students and parents when they have questions about learning within the classroom. Teachers will use Compass to communicate with parents about successes, concerns and feedback about a student's learning. We encourage all parents to check Compass and their emails often so as correspondence from the College is not missed.
