Empowering learners

Dear Parents, 

Thank you to all those families who made time to come to school on Friday, 20th September for PTMs and 3Way Conferences. We were very pleased to have close to 100% attendance.  Students were able to share their goals and their strengths with their loved ones and each one owned their own learning. 
Nearly all of our new students are very used to parents and teachers talking about them and the student having no-part in sharing their learning.  3Way Conferencing is a powerful platform allowing each student to take ownership and responsibility for their own learning.  Almost immediately, one could see how empowered the students felt about informing the grown-ups about their learning.

Well done to all our students!
