After-School Learning Catch Up Sessions

Our 5R Classroom Management Model involves reminding students to stay on task, refocusing students on the expectations to be productive and relocating students away from distractions.

Students are removed from the learning space on the rare occasions that a reminder, refocus and relocation hasn't resulted in appropriate on-task behaviour. When a removal occurs students are expected to attend a Learning Catch-up session to ensure they complete any work missed because of their removal from the classroom.

From this week onwards, any student who is removed from a class will have an Afterschool Learning Catch Up session on Thursdays from 3:20 pm – 4:00 pm. This is the ensure students have enough time to complete missed work properly and to have support from the Junior School on how to manage themselves in the classroom.

We are confident that this change will have better outcomes for students who are removed from class, but obviously, for most students, this will not affect them as they display appropriate learning behaviours and maximising learning growth.
