Learner Profile - Communicator

Our Well Being Captains Edelyn and Mia shared their definition of what it means to be a communicator. 

How can parents help to develop students who are Communicators at home? 

• Encourage your child to stay in touch with relatives and friends who may live interstate or in other countries. Your child can communicate through letter writing, emails or on the phone. 
• When working on mathematical tasks at home, encourage your child to explain their answer orally to you. 
• Ask you child thought provoking questions and encourage then to discuss these with you. 

For example:  

         Is there anything you cannot buy with money? 

         Should you get pocket money, why or why not? 

         What do you think your life may be in the future? 

Work with you child to be a good listener. Being a good listener is an important part of being a good communicator. Provide opportunities for them to listen and then retell instructions, stories, events etc.
