Student Interviews - Something New!

 

We are starting something new this term, and we are going to start interviewing preps, year 6’s and year 5’s. The reason we chose to do this is to give students a voice in answering 5 different questions to help us understand more of the students at school. The questions we ask the year 6’s are about how they are feeling about high school and leaving Primary school. We ask the year 5’s about how they feel about being trusted with leadership roles and going into year 6. We ask the preps about how they feel about primary school and what is exciting about school. We will continue this till the end of the term. Not everyone will get a chance to be interviewed, because the teachers of the class will choose a few children to be interviewed.
