FAIL SAFE SESSION 1JFHS

WHAT DOES FAIL SAFE MEAN?

At JFHS, we believe that you only fail when you Don’t put the very best effort you can

into your learning while you are at school

Thereby creating the maximum amount of opportunities you can have while you are here

And having some control over your exit plan from school

SO, HOW ARE YOU GOING?

This is a really good time to reflect.

SO, HOW ARE YOU GOING?

Don’t tidy up one area for show, and put all the mess behind the door.. Like Anna did.

SO WHAT JFHS DOES TO SUPPORT YOU INCLUDES

The Mentor Scheme Your assessment policy and schedule Experienced and expert teachers,

supported by experienced and expert faculties

Careers advice Conversations

PARENT TEACHER NIGHT

It is your last parent teacher night – last chance for interviews of this kind with your teachers

Students may, by negotiation with teachers, attend the interviews

We are holding a parent information session afterwards on tips to help them support you during the HSC year

WHAT EFFECTIVE STUDENTS DO

They realise that they are the only ones who can control their own behaviour

They do a lot of planning and work when they are not under pressure – Quadrant II planning

When they are under pressure, they think of ways to work on their problems

They think about how they learn and use those methods to learn

They do actually work – they extend themselves and never make excuses

QUADRANT I: URGENT AND IMPORTANT

QUADRANT II: NOT URGENT AND IMPORTANT

QUADRANT III: URGENT AND NOT IMPORTANT

QUADRANT IV: NOT URGENT AND NOT IMPORTANT

TRY TO LIVE ABOVE THE LINE

WHAT EFFECTIVE STUDENTS DO

They act independently of others They are positive and proactive They make learning a priority They say no when a bigger yes is

needed They put the big fruit in the fruit

bowl first (they schedule in the big items in their planning)

They build good relationships with their teachers

WHAT IS A WASTE OF TIME

Worrying without acting on a plan to help yourself

Finding scapegoats for your anxiety The Ostrich technique Being dismissive of working hard

THIS WEEK TRY...

Summarising this weeks worth of key concepts

Asking one of your teachers where you are up to in your skill level when you book your parent teacher appointment

Focus on eating and sleeping well Saying no to a distraction (that

might mean saying no to yourself, too)
