Some of our students set some goals for themselves for 2014 and their future.

From Abdul

My goals for the future will be to achieve and successfully pass every test the primary school throws at me and when I leave I’ll be carrying books of knowledge on my back easily. I will fly through knowledge which build a bridge over high school. When I set foot in university I’ll be carrying a chest of knowledge. I will dig my way under university and every bit of knowledge will be in the palm of my hand.

My final goal is almost endless. I would like to achieve over and over again. It’s to be a scientist and create every invention from my mind.

From Ceethu

Throughout the year my goals will be to improve my maths skills so I can calculate in my head quicker.

To improve my working time so I can finish my work quicker so I can be successful in my work.

To help my mum with the chores so she isn’t so tired.

To achieve the Premier’s Reading Challenge so I can get a prize.

From Emaly

Throughout the year my goals will be to get ready for my prefect/ captains’ speech.

Throughout the year my goal will be preparing to become a Year 6.

Throughout the year my goal will be to help the adorable Kindies with their fantastic work.

Throughout the year my goal will be to be a good friend and treat others how they want to be treated.

In the future my goal will be to prepare for high school and have a great year.
