Learning and Teaching
On Friday 22 July, we pause to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of skills, talents and abilities of our students at the Semester One Academic Award Assemblies. Students will be acknowledged for their performance outstanding academic achievement and academic endeavour.
|
Academic achievement is a paradigm often bound by both possibility and constraint. The challenge for all students, regardless of age, is to embrace all possibility and avoid constraint. This approach will help revitalise one’s approach to learning.
|
I believe this can be helped in three ways:
|
- Through improved determination, grit, discipline and persistence
- Through ensuring an agency (buy-in) exists towards schooling
- Through managing self-care/wellbeing. That is, establishing a healthy routine, diet, exercise, sufficient sleep and positive relationships
Finally, it is well documented that only through reflection can real improvement occur. I would encourage all students to make some time to analyse their Semester One report. Specifically, to target areas of improvement and to set personal learning goals for the remainder of the year.
|
I congratulate all awardees and challenge all students to seek further improvement in Semester Two, 2022.
