Learning Conversations

What is it & When is it?

Learning conversations are a timetabled meeting for Year 12 & 13 student with your Learning Coach.

These are timetabled to take place once a week in the morning, in zone 6 (8.20-8.40am), and will show on your timetable, as with all lessons including Community Hour. Make sure you check your timetable!


These sessions are the perfect opportunity for you to have professional discussions with your Learning Coach, getting help and advise on a 1-to-1 or small group basis. Students will need to bring their laptops (with charge) each week in order to make the most of these sessions.
