You Can Do It - The Key To Success

One of our roles as teachers is to help students develop personal qualities that will assist them to be successful and happy. Success is not about being the best, but doing the best you can in school, work and other areas of life. Students who are successful and happy have learned from parents, teachers and friends different ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, which they use through their journey in life. 

In the Junior College, the You Can Do It program, which includes social and emotional skills, forms part of our Pastoral Care framework. The combined skills of Organisation, Persistence, Confidence, Getting Along and Resilience form the You Can Do It Key to Success. Learning and practising these skills will help students work towards creating a successful and happy life. At the Junior College assembly this week, Mrs Sarah Atkinson introduced the characters from the You Can Do It program: Oscar Organisation, Pete Persistence, Connie Confidence, Gabby Get Along and Ricky Resilience. These characters are introduced to students in their early years and are revisited throughout the program. The social and emotional skills have also been aligned with the weekly threads developed by Pastor Tim, which we share with students during devotion as well.
