Our Character Development Coaches play a significant and crucial role in supporting all students to follow the Keys to Success and the three Rs of Respect, Responsibility and Relationships. On that note he reminded us to monitor the success of the students in our CDC groups through Arbor (our management information system). This way we can easily track students who are regularly getting reward points and consequence points and ensure additional support and encouragement is given where needed.

As parents and carers you can also play your part. Do look on Arbor regularly and have those all-important conversations with your children. Try to notice any patterns and identify whether things need to improve in certain lessons – with attitude to learning or perhaps home learning completion. Do also remember to contact your child’s teacher or learning assistant if needed to discuss with them your concerns or ask any questions if you have any.
