“It’s too hard. I don’t like my teacher, I’m bored”. It's an unusual thing to hear students say anything nice about their school. Not only unusual, perhaps, but completely unknown. However, if you ask many students at Queensmount Public School, they’ll tell you that it is an outstanding place. Queensmount opens the doors for many students and it provides loving and caring staff and a great quality of education.
The climate of our school includes its kids and its diversity, but it includes much more than that. Queensmount has a positive and nurturing climate which is the greatest strength about our school.
One reason Queensmount is an awe-inspiring school is because of the loving and caring staff of the school. From teachers to secretaries to custodians, Queensmount staff is always beside you whenever you need them. …show more content…
Researchers have found that students who have caring relationships with teachers are academically more successful and show greater “pro-social” (or kind, helpful) behavior.
A caring teacher can transform the school experience especially for students who face enormous difficulties, such as dropping out or family issues. One student who faced these kinds of hardships told a researcher that the greatest thing a teacher can do is to care and to understand. Queensmount is a second home to students because of the caring and understanding staff. They treat the kids like their own and everyone is included. Everyday I am greeted by my teachers and I feel welcomed which makes me love my school and the nurturing environment.
Also, the teachers and staff at Queensmount actively listen to the students and listen for the meaning behind what students are saying, then checks in with them to make sure they’ve understood properly. This affirms students’ dignity and helps in developing a trusting relationship between teachers and
students.
Also, Queensmount sets the bar high when it comes to the quality of education. Queensmount heavily emphasizes holistic development, equipping students with the knowledge and skills for the future, and enriches students with the right values and imbues students with a positive learning attitude. Queensmount implements what is learnt and students are well-rounded. But without our clubs and our, for the most part, undefeated sports teams such as, Senior band, Choir, Gauss Math and a slew of more that help make students well-rounded. Queensmount provides all learners with capabilities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual well-being.
There are many examples that shows lives of many successful graduates that are attaining a prosperous professional life. One example in our own school is Mr. Latyn that graduated from Queensmount that structured him for his entire life.
Our transition to grade nine may be right before our eyes but we can say Queensmount will still be that amazing school that we all dreamt for and will always remember. The passionate staff and the exceptional education will carry on with us for the next chapters of our lives, making us the human being that are nation craves to see.
