Focus Weeks

In Term 2 as part of its on-going emphasis on School Wide Positive Behaviours, Gisborne Secondary College will be continuing its work on Focus Weeks supported by mini lessons in the Mentor space to support students understanding of systems, processes, expectations, and the school values.

Below you will find an outline of each focus week to both give you some perspective on the work we are doing and to support conversations you may be having at home.

Week 9 - 10th – 14th June 2024

Mobile Phones – The overall focus of the staff will be on ensuring students are compliant with the school and education departments position regarding mobile phones in schools. Phones should be securely stored from 8.55am – 3.16pm in student’s lockers. We will also be delivering mini lessons regarding correct ways to behave and being respectful during guest speaker presentations. 

Week 10 -17th – 21st June 2024

Achievement – To allow every student to achieve their personal best, especially in assessments, this week we will be actively teaching exam and test behaviours so that all those involved understand what appropriate behaviour under test / exam conditions is.
