Term 1 Wrap-Up: Celebrating Wins and Planning Ahead

As Term 1 winds down across schools in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, and Melbourne, it’s the perfect time for families to pause and reflect. The first term often sets the tone for the rest of the year, from developing study habits and adapting to new teachers, to navigating updated curriculums or even preparing for NAPLAN.

But before rushing into holiday plans, it’s worth asking: What worked well this term? What could be better next term?

Celebrate the Wins — Big and Small

No win is too small to celebrate. Whether it’s:

• Improved confidence in maths,

• A solid result in English,

• Completing homework more independently, or

• Simply adjusting well to the new school year...

Acknowledging these victories helps build your child’s self-esteem and motivation for Term 2.

Tip: Ask your child what they’re most proud of this term — you might be surprised by their answers!

Review and Reflect Together

Take some time as a family to talk about the following:

• What subjects did your child enjoy most

• Which areas felt difficult or stressful

• How they felt about their study routines or classroom support

Reflection opens the door to honest conversations and can highlight where additional support — like tutoring — might help.

Set Clear Goals for Term 2

As the next term approaches, consider helping your child:

• Choose one academic and one personal goal to focus on

• Plan realistic weekly routines (study, screen time, activities)

• Tackle learning gaps early, especially in subjects like maths, reading, and writing.

The break between terms is the ideal time to reset and refocus.
