At Friday's Chapel our Student Life Minister, Ms Jean Choe, spoke about setting goals and working diligently toward the achievement of these goals. A very important message indeed.
One of our challenges is to help our students develop long term, mid term, and short term goals, and then backwards plan how these goals can be achieved. This is the same process that we apply for our development and improvement at GSIS. We have long term goals (our strategic plan), yearly goals (that are linked to our strategic plan), and quarterly goals (that are developed by our Core Team). We then use these goals to help guide and direct our daily actions and plans to ensure that we are working toward achieving the GSIS mission.
As a parent it is important to talk to your child about their goals - what is their long term goal? What are their goals for this year? What is it that they want to achieve this quarter? What are they going to do to achieve these goals? What can you do to support them in this?
We often talk about developing our home-school partnership to support our students, which is a very important part of the educational process. We also need to develop the parent-child and student-teacher relationships to further support our students and ensure that they have the best possible opportunity to reach their full potential.
