This week I am pleased to announce the appointment of four Student Advocate positions to support student learning pathways. Three of the appointments are an enhancement of existing roles and the fourth is a new appointment.
The role of Student Advocate is a non-teaching one, to formally assist students to achieve their academic goals. To achieve this, we use the Attitude to Learning Indicators, Academic Achievement, e-AsTTle test results, Mid and End of Year Reports and Dean’s notes as well as a range of anecdotal data. This is all aimed at coordinating interventions when students are in danger of slipping "under the radar" in an academic sense.
The concept is broadly based on the "Check and Connect" methodology from the University of Minnesota. It works with caregivers, staff and students to get better outcomes. This integrates with the Ministry of Education's Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) national program.
The people in Student Advocate role are:
Mrs June Campbell, Dean of International Students.
Mrs Raelene Anderson, Girls' Matron.
Mrs Lou Pearson, Boys' Matron.
Mr Mathew Harris, Day Student Advocate
We welcome them into their extended roles and I am confident they will be able to make a real difference to the learning outcomes of all students.
May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
