It has been an eventful and engaging last few weeks for the Year 7 and 8 students at Ripley Valley SSC. Things kicked off with the Queensland Engagement and Wellbeing Survey which was offered to every student at the College. The purpose of the survey was to gather vital information about students’ perceptions around their wellbeing, engagement and experiences at school. The results of this survey will be used to guide our Positive Behaviour for Learning framework, and better support our students by meeting their needs. 

Our Year 7 and 9 students also completed NAPLAN over the last couple of weeks and it was pleasing to see their level of engagement and effort in all the tests that were administered.

Finally, all students had the opportunity to be involved with the Elevate Workshops that were run earlier this week. The purpose of these workshops was to build effective study skills, increase motivation, and build confidence. By all reports, the students thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and took away some new practices for their learning and development.
