Spotlight on Student Diaries
At SJRC, our students' diaries are a vital tool for two reasons:
- Organisation: Students in Years 7 - 10 are asked to write up their subjects for the day each morning as part of the learning readiness routines in PC. As part of this, students interact with their Compass schedules each day, noting due dates and variations to routines. Students are then encouraged to record homework tasks and learning activities in their diaries next to each subject.
- Wellbeing: The student diary contains our school-wide wellbeing program based on the principles of Positive Education. Twice a week in PC, students complete a “Big 5 check-in” to assess their well-being across the domains of sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, and positive emotions. Students apply a rating out of five to each domain, allowing staff and peers to respond to any self-identified well-being concerns.
We encourage all parents to regularly check student diaries and to discuss organisation and wellbeing materials within the diary with their child.
