COLLEGE NEWS

From the Principal 

This week we have been celebrating Public Education Week and this year’s theme: Ignite Potential. This week we have been reflecting on the incredible possibilities that public education and specifically Wyndham College offers our students and how we can collectively nurture their growth and development.

What Does "Ignite Potential" Mean? 

The theme Ignite Potential encapsulates our commitment to inspiring and empowering each student to reach their fullest potential. It highlights the importance of fostering a supportive and innovative learning environment where every student can thrive, explore their interests, and develop their unique talents. Students had opportunities to write:

• Skills they want to develop
• Words and mantras that motivate them
• Their goals or dreams

Throughout the week, we highlighted stories of success and achievement from our school community on our social media platforms, and we encourage you to engage with these posts and share your own stories of how public education has made a difference in your family's life.

As we celebrate Public Education Week, we want to thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our college community. Together, we can ignite the potential in every student and help them achieve their dreams.

Attendance at school and in class

Regular school attendance is crucial for students’ academic success, as it ensures they do not miss out on essential learning experiences. Consistent attendance helps build a sense of academic community and belonging, allowing students to develop strong relationships with their peers and teachers. By prioritising attendance, students can reach their full potential and achieve their educational goals. Conversely, poor attendance creates learning gaps, and disconnection which negatively impacts student wellbeing and academic performance. At Wyndham College, we are proactive in supporting students to be at school every day of every week of every term to build a successful school life.

SHINE

We are thrilled to announce that the SHINE Tutoring Program at Wyndham College has officially commenced.

Thanks to the generous support of Australian Schools Plus, we have welcomed four new tutors, all current university students, who will be working with our students to build confidence and deeper understanding in Language, Literacy, and Numeracy.

When & Where:

Study Sessions 2 & 3 in the Library Breakout Rooms.

Tutors will also be supporting students in class for more targeted help.

If your child is yet to complete their Minimum Standards testing, SHINE tutors will be available in Session 4 on Tuesday to provide assistance and guidance.

Stay tuned — we’ll be introducing our amazing new tutors through tutor bios later this week!

Let’s SHINE together!
