Three Way Interviews Wednesday 27th May

  • May 26, 2015

  • · Messages · Year 1 · Year 2 · Year 3 · Year 4 · Year 5 · Year 6

We are looking forward to seeing you this Wednesday for our Three-Way interviews.

Please read the summary reminders below :

What are Three Way Learning Conferences and what do they look like? 

Three Way Learning Conferences are a conversation between the student, their parent/s and their teacher.

The student has an opportunity to share with their parents, with the support of their teacher, their growth as a learner.

All three parties – student, parents and the teacher – sit together and talk about the student’s learning by looking at and discussing representative work samples.

Each conference will last for fifteen minutes with times pre-selected through our on-line booking system.

Three Way Learning Conferences achieve the following:

• help students demonstrate evidence of learning

• teach students the process of reflection and self-evaluation

• facilitate the development of organisational and oral communication skills and increase their self-confidence

• encourage students, parents, and teachers to engage in open and honest dialogue

• encourage students to accept personal responsibility for their learning

• increase parental understanding of their child’s learning journey

What does some of the research say?

Professor John Hattie identifies student self-reporting as the most significant indicator linked to raising student achievement.

‘If the focus is to be kept on learning, and the ownership of the learning with the child, then the best person to talk about the learning is the learner’… ‘Not only is the student the best person to tell their parents what they have learnt, but if we believe that students build their knowledge by communicating what they know, then providing an opportunity for the students to tell their family what they know can significantly assist with that learning.’ Absolum, (2006)

What Parents are asked to do during the Conference

•Turn up on time and listen carefully and ask clarifying questions.

• View and provide encouraging comments on student work, progress and achievement.

• Support goal setting and learning intention opportunities.

What Parents are asked to do after the Conference

:• Positively support and take an interest in helping your child to achieve their goals.

• Continue to encourage your child to aim for their personal best through challenge and support while reducing stress and anxiety.

Please respect time limits, and please show genuine respect, care and gratitude toward both your child and their teacher, as your teacher will do for you. Our relationships with one another are so important in setting your child up for success – both emotionally and academically. Children are keen observers – may they see us all at our best – wise, kind, considerate, reflective, positive!

A GROWTH Mindset – how Mums and Dads can help!

  • May 14, 2015
  • Tania Thuijs
  • · From the Principal · Kindy · Pre-Primary · Year 1 · Year 2 · Year 3 · Year 4 · Year 5 · Year 6

 

Today Mr Greg Mitchell spent the day at St Emilie’s in our specialist classrooms and then after school with staff to share some valuable professional development.

One of the many interesting ideas we explored was the importance of supporting children (and ourselves as adults) to develop a GROWTH mindset.

growth mindset

Research shows that a student’s belief about their intelligence plays an important role in their school achievement, and that parents and teachers can positively influence the development of these beliefs.

Students who believe their intelligence is simply a fixed trait fare more poorly, especially as school becomes more challenging, than students who believe their intellectual abilities can grow. When students are taught the growth-oriented view—they show an increase in their enjoyment of learning and in their grades.

What can parents do?

Praise the process – children’s effort or strategies—creates eagerness for challenges, persistence in the face of difficulty, and enhanced performance.

Next time you are tempted to tell your child that he or she is the next Einstein or future Picasso, stop yourself. Instead, take the time to appreciate the effort they put into their work, not what the work means about their innate brains or talent.

Ask them how they went about something and show them how you appreciate their choices, their thinking process, or their persistence.

Ask them about strategies that didn’t work and what they learned from them.

When they make mistakes, use these mistakes as an opportunity for teaching them to come up with new strategies.

When they do something quickly, easily, and perfectly, do not tell them how great they are. Tell them, “I’m sorry I wasted your time on something too easy for you. Let’s do something more challenging that you can learn from.”

Look for ways to convey your valuing of effort, perseverance, and learning—rather than some empty display of ability. Instead of false confidence in fixed ability, these methods will foster a deeper  appreciation for the true ingredients of achievement.

It is now abundantly clear that brains and talent alone don’t bring success. The work of Benjamin Bloom and of Anders Ericsson shows clearly that people of outstanding accomplishment—be it in science, the arts, or athletics–are often no more talented than many of their peers. In fact, their peers who seemed most brilliant at the start often turned out to achieve very little. This is most likely because, believing too much in the power of their brains and talent, they did not put in the effort that all great accomplishment requires.

In short, believing in brains or talent as something fixed and all-powerful works against long-term success in school, careers, and life in general.

Talking to your children about their brain being like a muscle – the more they use it, the stronger it gets is a great way to go!

Let’s all become more mindful about HOW and WHAT we say to our children so that we can develop a GROWTH MINDSET in school and in life!

Year 6 Camp memories….

On Monday the 30th of March, the Year Six students accompanied by Mrs Thuijs, Mrs Aquino, Mr Munro, Mr Davis, Mr Naden, Mrs Harvey, Mrs Tilyard and Jacob Aquino departed for Woodman Point for their Year Six camp. Among the many benefits camp provides is the chance to build leadership skills that can be brought back and displayed at school.

On camp, students learn teamwork and relationship skills, trust, responsibility, and are challenged to show courage and bravery to complete different challenges. Students participated in a search and rescue, rock climbing, ultimate sports, raft building, team building, soccer and an escape from quarantine. Some students quickly found themselves out of their comfort zone however with encouragement and a positive mental attitude often surprised themselves!

Being in a new place with different people and even being away from home for the first time might have been scary at first, however feelings of happiness, joy, excitement and pride quickly replaced any fears. Camp was another great opportunity for our Year Six students to continue to build on their leadership skills while having a great time with their friends.
