Good afternoon everyone,

As part of our ongoing development of a Growth Mindset, it is important that we continually take time to pause, reflect and reset with regards to our learning. The end of Term One, with the distribution of Interim Reports, has provided an opportunity for students in years seven through to eleven to reflect on their progress so far this year. Part of this reflection involves students analysing their reports as a means of identifying areas that they are progressing well in, those that may have scope for improvement and to consider strategies that could be employed over the coming term to make improvements in their learning.

This information is valuable for our College in gaining the insights from all community members, which will then assist us in planning and addressing the learning and wellbeing needs of our students based on data rather than assumptions and past practice. We greatly appreciate the feedback being provided by students in completing this survey.
