Program Support Meetings (PSG)

Program Support Meetings (PSG) are held one per Term for students across the College who have a personalised learning plan.

The Aims

• Closer relationships between parent, student and staff members

• Increased accountability of students in regard to their schooling

• Students set their personal learning goals and focus and work together to achieve them

How it Works

• TA meetings take place twice a year and parents are expected to attend all TA meetings.

• Opportunity to discuss progress in learning and all other aspects of student's wellbeing

• Each meeting takes 20 minutes

• Students, parents and teacher advisor set goals together at each meeting and plan strategies to achieve the goals. These are reviewed and edited at each TA meeting

• Subject teachers assess each student in relation to academia and work habits each Term.

What are the Outcomes?

• Organised students

• Highly motivated students

• Reduced student behaviours of concern

• Students taking control of their learning

• Improved relationships and partnership with families.
