Learning Centre - Junior Campus

“When you are off track, acknowledge it, forgive yourself and restart! You know the way.”

Tori Schaefer

As Term 1 draws to a close, it is a prudent time for all of us to reflect on our start to 2024. As we receive marks and feedback from our Informal Tasks across all subjects, it is important to consider any goals or intentions we may have set at the beginning of the year. This self-awareness is key to our success–we must acknowledge our position in relation to our goals, forgive ourselves for any missteps, and then recommit to our intention for the year. In doing so we demonstrate the capability and resilience necessary for success.

On the Junior Campus, students have the opportunity to come to Learning Centre to work with peers and teachers to improve their learning. It is held in the Sister Tullia Learning Centre until 4pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Learning Centre provides spaces for students to work independently, with their peers, or receive help from their subject teachers. There is no fixed commitment–students can choose when they would like to attend to receive assistance or simply have some quiet space to focus. 

This term we have had a number of students attending consistently each week, as well as some taking initiative to attend ahead of in-class tasks and due dates. It has been fantastic to see these students working closely with their teachers across a variety of subject areas to support and improve their learning. Thank you to the staff who regularly attend (Miss E. Webb, Miss B. Negline, Mr S. Hazell and Mr E. Cheung) for their invaluable contributions to their students’ success. I encourage students to continue their conversations with peers and staff about how coming to Learning Centre can enhance their learning growth across all subjects.
