From the Leader of Wellbeing

 

 

Below is an image of what the Student Planner looked like at the beginning of this week.

The planner works from Left to Right, with the spiral in the middle, for each week.

• On the left side, students are to record their assessment due dates, notices relevant to them, and the events that are going on in the school and/or specific to them eg: Choir practice, Netball tryouts before school, PE Prac – bring sports uniform and shoes
• There is space on the bottom left side for their Tutor Teacher and/or House Coordinator to sign. This is for students who are working closely with a teacher to strengthen specific skills
• On the right, there is a column that has recorded D6 through to D10. ‘D‘ refers to the Day and the number refers to the day that is on her schedule (timetable)
  • Students are to record their lesson and room (especially any room changes on Compass) in this column the week prior
• The larger column on the right is for students to record any homework or classwork that they need to complete and/or submit, items they may be required to bring in for the next lesson etc.
• The final column is a space where they can tick off the school work once this has been completed
• Students are encouraged to keep a record of their weekly attendance and also their attendance  % overall at the top of this page
• Setting goals, actioning a plan to achieve and celebrating the achievement are important life skills. For this reason, students have a space on the bottom of the left side to set an ‘Intention’ and record what they have ‘Accomplished’ related to the intention or in addition or place of.

To return to the question above:

What should you see?

This weekend you should see the the pages of the calendar that are empty above filled with a record of their learning this week – lessons they have had, work they need to complete, assessments that were submitted, school events that they engaged in, their personal intention for the week and if they have accomplished this, their attendance record for the week and the year. 

If you have questions about how your daughter is using her Student Planner please contact her Tutor Teacher here at the College who will be happy to support your continued engagement in her learning.

During the Principal’s Assembly on  Wednesday morning, the Marist students below presented themselves to the College community.

Their individuality shone through, their gifts were shared and all could hear the connections that they have made with their ‘sisters’ throughout their time at the College. 

The student body was focused and listened attentively demonstrating respect not only for the Year 11 students who were addressing them but also for the important role that they have to play in shaping the future direction of MSCW. This was demonstrated with over 80% of the student body voting by 3:30 pm on the same day.

We wish all these students and their peers who have applied for other Student Leadership positions all the best as they prepare for their interview by a panel of staff in the coming weeks.
