First week back and we have hit the ground running in Crew, as we begin to prepare for our first Student Led Conference of Year 8. We have spent this week reflecting on last year’s SLCs, talking about what worked will and how we can improve with our “even better ifs…”
The next two weeks will be pretty much dedicated to SLCs: making sure our portfolios are up to date, selecting the work we want to showcase, preparing our scripts and creating an action plan with our academic and personal targets.
It’s pretty intense and Crew will be working hard to prepare. They have demanded biscuits to keep them going and I’m happy to oblige!
Invites with a link to the online booking form will be sent out early next week via email. SLCs are your child’s opportunity to discuss their learning and progress with you, and we do count on your full support. If you can’t make any of the dates offered, please get in touch.
Meanwhile, I took a photo of this quote Mr Portman used as a discussion point in our community meeting yesterday:
I’m going to keep on referring back to this quote in Crew over the next few weeks, as I’m sure some students will have moments of self doubt when it comes to reflecting on and talking about their work, and setting themselves targets for growth. I can see the potential in each and every one of my Crew; I just hope they can see it, too!
