initiative
"Improving an already good performance is often harder than getting from
below average to average. We are looking at an innovative way of getting
our year 9 and 10 students to work more closely with their teachers to
achieve even better results. We have offered each class $500 towards a
class trip at the end of the year if all students in the class pass
their junior diploma. If this is not achieved, we will put $250 towards
a class trip for all those who have passed. Added to this is a class
leaders’ programme where two boys and two girls are elected to work with
the deans and teachers on being the best class. Each term the most
active boy and girl leader will stay on and a new boy and girl will be
elected. This will give the opportunity for 5 boys and 5 girls in each
class to learn and demonstrate leadership skills. Plans for incentives
for achieving excellence diplomas, merit diplomas and being a member of
the 100plus club for each class are being considered. We are suggesting
30 per class for each of these areas where the agreed targets are met.
We are also looking for people who would be interested in being a class
mentor. We have 3 people so far who are interested. The commitment would
be to interact with the class at least once per term and go on their
class trip with them. If you are interested please contact Mrs Webb –
the Principals secretary."
