    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 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 on-line tutoring.
    Transitions

    Children, just like adults, experience feelings as they anticipate or react to transitions. Sometimes children will engage in challenging behaviours as a result of this anticipation. Sometimes they will react excited and others may become anxious and over-whelmed. Every feeling is valid. That is why it is so important that we support our young people, identify their feelings and build resilience in times of transition.

    Parents can promote successful transitions by:

    • checking in with their child about their feelings
    • communicating with the school if they are concerned
    • creating a predictable routine for school
    • helping their child/ren feel safe and secure during these times.
    One way we have seen success for students in the transition between year levels or schools is having a clearly defined routine for their week. This is a great activity to promote organisation and help keep your child on track whilst they learn.
