IMPROVEMENT • TSR and student attendance have a positive relationship with academic results. • Discipline issues have reduced. Bond Time
CHALLENGES • Students who are most in need are not in school. • Rope in more help to make an impact on the students in need. • Too many variables involved, e.g. family issues and financial issues. Bond Time
CONCLUSION When children felt they belonged, they were • more motivated, • had higher expectations of success, • more engaged, and • believed in the value of their academic work. Passion Bond Time
CONCLUSION We feel that inculcating this sense of belonging through the “Bond Time” with the class mentor was instrumental in the overall improvement of the child. Passion Bond Time
TAKE AWAYS • We need to further see how we can strengthen the bond between the student and the school. • Because we can only help them if they are in school. • That would be the next step. Passion Bond Time
