Student Voice

While back on site at the end of Term 2, the Leadership Team ran focus groups of students across all year levels to gain feedback from their time during Remote Learning. Several important changes were made when planning and implementing Remote Learning 2.0 as a result of listening to our students. Reducing the workload, implementing camera use and providing a variety of tasks were among changes that students felt they needed.  

The Year 7 Mathematics Team is also using student voice as part of the delivery of Learning Tasks. Teachers are working with students to set SMART goals, to assist students in developing and driving their learning. Students are choosing concepts and skills that they wish to develop further and are given the freedom to work through these goals at their own pace. SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely, meaning these goals can be specifically linked to the work they are studying in class, can be reached within a timely fashion and are achievable for the student. SMART goals will empower our students to manage and take responsibility for their learning and encourage positive learning habits for life.
