This is the second year for the students to have Home-Based Learning. As usual, every day begins with a morning Advisory check-in, designed to help our students to prepare for the day and week ahead. These meetings are a chance to check-in, share announcements, and 10 minutes of activities.
Every week we have Extended advisory time with students. During this time, we have had many different activities. These activities have helped us to build relationships with our students during this difficult time.
Every month, we have a Year-Level Meeting and Social connections, a chance to get all Year 9 students together in one place. We use Year- Level Meetings to share important information connected with the MYP or wellbeing or extra-curricular opportunities. We share ideas for how year nine students can be as academically successful as possible. During social connection time, the students experience activities such as games and sharing sessions in order to facilitate building relationships between students.
