It's the little things
A team effort
We would like to give a special shout-out to the Cecil Family for their stellar effort in improving our school's late arrival rate in Term 2, 2023. Your commitment and determination have made a significant impact on our overall punctuality as a school community:
We also want to express our gratitude to our Head Teachers and Senior Executive for their steadfast support of the Reconnect initiative throughout the last twelve months. Your continuous presence and efforts have been critical in promoting punctuality to our student and your role in reinforcing the importance of being on time have played a great role in our success.
As we strive to maintain this positive momentum, here are a few helpful tips for students to ensure they get to school on time:
- First and foremost, prioritise getting enough sleep each night, as a well-rested mind and body are more likely to be prompt in the morning.
- Try setting multiple alarms or utilising alarm clock applications to help you wake up on time.
- Leave your house by 7:40am to beat the traffic!
We would like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Alfonsi for her gargantuan effort in helping drive this initiative to success. Her guidance and encouragement have been invaluable in motivating our students to embrace punctuality.
Remember, the power of positive habits should not be underestimated. Small changes, such as setting a consistent morning routine, organising your belongings the night before, and leaving home with ample time, can lead to significant improvements in your punctuality and overall daily routine.
Let's continue to reinforce these positive habits and embrace the mindset that being punctual not only benefits ourselves but also contributes to a more productive and harmonious learning environment for everyone.
Once again, congratulations to all students on your exceptional efforts in improving our late arrival rate. Your commitment to punctuality is truly commendable, and we encourage you to keep up the fantastic work!
