Assistant Principal's Report
We are midway through Term 4 with students undertaking the process of finalising assessments. The senior school is completing exams while the middle school is preparing for their upcoming exams. Students will then be moving into the important time of Step-up to prepare for the 2026 academic year.
Goal Setting for Student Success
We encourage our students to continue their journey of self-improvement. Goal setting remains a cornerstone of their long-term success. Just as one wouldn't embark on a journey without a clear destination in mind, it's difficult to achieve success without well-defined goals. Goals provide a roadmap to the future and help students allocate their time and resources wisely.
We kindly request parents and caregivers to engage in meaningful conversations with their children about their goals. Your guidance and support play an essential role in helping them reach their aspirations.
Fostering Learning Success
As an AVID school, we are committed to nurturing academic excellence. Our teachers are dedicated to assisting students in mastering the Cornell note-taking system. To enhance learning at home, we encourage parents and caregivers to support their children by using the 10-24-7 method. This well-established approach, involving daily note review, question formulation, and weekly summarisation, significantly boosts student confidence and exam results, making it particularly crucial as we approach upcoming assessments.
Organisational skills are key to success. Students are encouraged to maintain well-organised binders that accompany them to all classes, ensuring that they have all the necessary materials readily available. Our "Ready to Learn Monday" led by our AVID Leader, Ms. Amy Cole, continues to provide students with the opportunity to stock up on binder materials at the AVID Centre each week, ensuring they are always well-prepared for their learning journey.
Homework Club for Learning Support
A reminder to all parents and students that Wyndham Central College's Homework Club continues every Wednesday in the Monash Building from 3:10 pm to 4:00 pm. This invaluable resource is facilitated by experienced classroom teachers and provides critical support for students who self-nominate to attend. Whether your child faces challenges with classwork, assignments, or simply seeks a supportive environment to complete homework, our Homework Club offers the ideal space to thrive academically.
We urge parents to motivate their children to attend Homework Club, ensuring they benefit from this valuable support system.
Together, we can empower our students to set and achieve their goals, excel in their studies, and make the most of the resources available to them. Thank you for your ongoing support in fostering a culture of success at Wyndham Central College.
