RVSSC Student Page

A reminder to check out the RVSSC Student Page. Assessment is ramping up again, so it is a great time to remind ourselves of the tips and tricks to study well, and achieve our best!

The Student Support Services Committee have also been adding sections to the page to help students know:

• What’s happening around the school
• Information on Student Wellbeing

The Student Toolkit has lots of tips and resources to support students with:

• How they learn
• How to ask for help
• Positive affirmations about learning
• How to use Learning Tools through Microsoft software
• Links for extra support and online tutoring.

The snapshots below let you see what is available and I would encourage sitting down with your child and exploring what is there.

If you have any feedback or ideas on other things we should include let me know by filling our this short survey form:

Personalised Learning Plans

All students’ Personalised Learning Plans will be sent home at the end of this Term for you to review.

Not all students will have one of these plans, but if your child does, we ask that you read through the strategies and comments with them.

Here are some questions to help guide your review:

• Do you agree with the strategies of support being used in the classroom?
• Does your child feel the support is helpful for them?
• Do you have any suggestions for teachers to consider to better support your child?
• Does your child want to add something to their plan?

Your feedback in these plans are crucial for our teachers to ensure the strategies in place are working for your child. We value your child’s input as well into their plan. As they move through secondary, they will become their own advocate for their learning and support needs.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at Student Services studentservices@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au or 3819 5333.
