Junior School

Mid-term check

We are now at the halfway mark of the term. Be it in business, sport or any aspect of your life, we all must continually review and strive to improve ourselves and others around us. Year 7 and 8 students are no different, so what now?

I would strongly encourage each boy to complete a self review of all aspects of their schooling. This includes organisation, completion of work, in class engagement, social interaction, punctuality and the list goes on. One way to do this is the Start, Stop, Keep review method. What do I need to start doing, what do I need to stop doing and what do I need to keep doing? No doubt there are plenty of positives and I have seen first-hand the development of the boys over the course of the year. It is important to note that you don’t just work on your weaknesses but also continue to work on your strengths. At this young age they are far from the finished product but adopting a “I will, I can, I’ll try” attitude will go a long way towards fast tracking the development, both in and out of the classroom.
