Parent/Teacher/Student Conference

Parent/Teacher/Student conferences are an important opportunity for the 3 most significant figures in a student’s learning to come together to reflect and plan for future improvement.

Some things you could do before the upcoming round of PTSC are:

• Check your young person’s Compass to see what learning task feedback exists.
• Check your young person’s attendance on Compass.
• Email the teachers of your young person if you have any topics you would like to address specifically in the conference.

Our upcoming conferences can be booked on Compass and are being held on Thursday 25/8/22 from 4pm – 7pm in the Language/Senior Centre.

School Wide Positive Behaviour

6. Build and maintain positive relationships - 'I value other people's differences'.

A good school is built upon and thrives on valuing different individuals and the skills and knowledge each brings with them when they step through the school gates. Valuing the diversity of student and staff experiences and backgrounds allows us to enhance our college community and grow our creativity and problem solving skills.

At Newcomb Secondary College, we place value in diversity in all its forms and actively promote respecting other people’s differences. By encouraging a culture of acceptance, each individual student is empowered to bring everything they’ve got to school…nobody is afraid that their point of view will be dismissed so they can each confidently share their ideas with their peers.

Maintaining an understanding and appreciation for diversity and difference allows students to develop positive and respectful relationships, critical to a student’s emotional and social development. The relationships in a student’s life, including those with friends, family and peers, can influence their physical health, promote self-esteem and assist them in developing a sense of belonging.
