It is that time of year when Primary students in Year 6 look forward to transitioning into Secondary with students moving from both the CF and CJ Primary to a vastly different and strange new world …….or is it?
Core to everything we do in Secondary is exactly the same in Primary. Learning behaviours are paramount when approaching our learning whether we are a student, a teacher or even a parent. If we are to be successful lifelong learners then we need to be conscious of what behaviours are useful when tackling something new, either a new concept to understand or learning a new skill. In Secondary, students can earn house points for either the Lions, Tigers, Jaguars or Panthers all four being very familiar for Primary students.

Reflective Star perhaps holds the most powerful of virtues which is the ability to reflect not just after a conversation or event in our lives but during and even before, which is central to a lifelong IB Learner.
