Junior Secondary Update
Feedback
We are really encouraged by the work that we are seeing occurring in classrooms and the level of detailed feedback that students are receiving from their teachers. This feedback and responding to it is a vital step in improvement of an individual task.
Please encourage your young person to read any feedback on drafts very carefully and ask them if they understand what the teacher is telling them about their attempts.
The other challenging step for junior students is being organised enough to meet those timelines. As a parent staying connected to your young person’s deadlines and coaching them to meet these is one way we can work together in their education. Please discuss with them when their deadlines are and work with them to achieve this around their other at home commitments.
All these things will allow you to extend your support role in their learning which as a school we are grateful for and value the role you play in this as parents.
You can stay connected to your student’s deadlines by checking their assessment calendar which is on the PBC website.
