Some things to think about...

Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.

Welcome to Year 8 2011!!




Hi Everyone!!

Welcome to Room 13 for 2011

I hope that you have had a restful and relaxing holiday break.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you over the next few weeks. I have very high expectations in all areas of our classroom. This means I expect you to …
 Do your best at all times with both class studies and homework.
 Develop the maturity and social skills to respect your-self, others and the class environment.

For some of you, this year is the chance to continue to implement positive work habits and display mature social skills. For others it may be a time for a fresh start.

I am here to facilitate, lead and guide you in your learning. I will support you, encourage independence in your learning and provide help when you need it.

I believe that if you really want to achieve something then you will! Having a positive attitude is a key to your learning. We will be developing our own class expectations, concerning your learning, over the next week. These will be shared with your parents / caregivers at our meet the teacher evening.

This year I hope that you continue to make the most of all the opportunities that Balmacewen has to offer you and have an enjoyable and challenging year!!
