Year 11 Pastoral Guardian

Celebrazione..........

Celebrating student success, while important, also marks the end of another year for Year 11 students. In our final celebrations this week, it was satisfying to see that hard work of students has paid off. Subsequently, the sense of satisfaction gained from this recognition translates into continued engagement and increased levels of self-efficacy.

While individual students should certainly be recognised for achieving personal goals, as evidenced in this month’s award evenings, the intrinsic reward, for most, comes in the form of maturity, and a readiness to enter into the final year of their formal education. The students have had a plethora of opportunities to grow this year with outstanding achievements in academia, sport, music, and service. Celebrating these feats has not only made the girls feel great physically and mentally, but has created positive attitudes and behaviours and no doubt will support them in facing new challenges or opportunities in 2019.
