Student-led Conferences - Wednesday 26th June

 

This week, I have been very excited to be walking around the school to see and hear how our students are preparing for the upcoming Student-led Conferences. There have been role plays, group discussions of work samples and revisiting learning goals. Students' enthusiasm for their learning has been admirable, and thank you to the amazing teachers who have offered support and guidance to students, so they feel comfortable and confident to share their learning. I hope you all are as excited as I am!

 

I stopped to pause and ask a few students:

What are you most excited about for the Student-led Conferences?

I am feeling excited and a bit nervous. I am excited because I get to show my parents all of my achievements and share the activities I have completed this term. I really want to show my parents my information report on The Nervous System because I have spent a lot of time on it and put in a lot of effort."
