From the 24th to 27th February we will be holding Student/Parent Goal Setting Interviews with the class teacher.  Each student must accompany their parent/guardian to these 10 to 15 minute interviews and work together to set goals for the 2020 school year.   The process of setting goals allows students to choose where they want to go in school and what they want to achieve. By knowing what they want to achieve, they know what they have to concentrate on and improve. Goal setting gives students long-term vision and short-term motivation.  Having sharp, clearly defined goals, which students can measure, will allow them to take pride in accomplishing those goals. They can see clear forward progress in what might have seemed a long drawn out process. By setting goals students can: improve their academic performance, increase their motivation to achieve, increase pride and satisfaction in performance and improve their self-confidence.   Further information will be sent home shortly.
