Term Focus: Being Ready to Learn

“People have a better day because I am here as part of the HTS team.”

Each class has co-constructed their ‘Classroom Code of Conduct,’ which now forms the basis of discussions and actions to promote a harmonious classroom and playground. Students, having a positive mindset sets them up ready to take on the challenges of learning and social situations each day.

The Living Well Learning Well rules of living - I am safe, I am valued, respected and cared for, I am a learner, have been integral in developing positive ways students and teachers approach learning, behaviours and situations. For your reference, included and coming home today are documents outlining the ‘Student Support Framework’ on display at school and the ‘Families as Partners in Catholic School Communities’ framework. The latter describes ways that families can support their children and the school by using this framework. It may also give you some ideas to have varied conversations about school.
