Dear parents,
The students have had lots of discussions this week in preparation for the reports, which they have taken home today. They will be asked to use the feedback in the reports to set short term and long term targets, which teachers will be aware of so that they can advise them on useful strategies and tactics. In the coming weeks we will also be working with the older students and having discussions over possible careers and study options at university. This can be highly motivating for students as it helps to make their learning relevant and meaningful, as well as inform us about what IB Diploma options would be appropriate for our students. As part of this process students will take a test/survey which helps identify their personality types and links them to some possible career options that they might find fulfilling and rewarding. Normally students find this information very interesting and very relevant as it is particularly difficult for young people to decide what they want to do in life, as many of us will know from personal experience!
I look forward to seeing you all at this Sunday’s parents evening!
Have an enjoyable weekend.
Leo Thompson
