From the Assistant Principal - Teaching, Learning and Wellbeing

As we approach a crucial phase in our College Learning Cycle, I wanted to share some essential information to ensure your child's success during this intensive assessment period. The upcoming weeks will see our students engage in their final formal assessment tasks for the Term. We believe that with the right guidance and support, they can excel and demonstrate their true potential.

These assessments are designed to gauge your child's grasp of the material they've learned throughout the year. They represent a culmination of their efforts and knowledge up to this point. The timing of these tasks allows teachers to gather valuable data that will not only measure students' progress but also shape their learning journey for the upcoming term. The results will provide insights into areas where additional focus for your child’s learning growth may be needed.

Now is the time for your child to establish a study routine that includes reviewing their notes, practising problems, and seeking clarification when needed. Students should be gaining regular feedback when they submit their one price of writing per week to their teachers. Students should set achievable goals for their assessments. Breaking down larger tasks into smaller milestones can make the process for study less overwhelming and more manageable. These steps will ensure that students put their best efforts forward when it comes to completing exams and in-class assessments. 

If your child encounters difficulties, please remind them that seeking help is a sign of strength. Teachers and Leaders of Learning Wellbeing are available to address any questions or concerns they might have. It is natural for students to feel pressure during this time. Parents and carers can support their child by providing them with tools to manage stress, such as deep breathing exercises, short breaks, and engaging in activities they enjoy outside of studying.
