Learning and Improving With Feedback

11/20/2017

Allan Hardy, Principal

The breakfast cereal Wheaties became famous for two things: featuring a prominent athlete on the front of the cereal box and by claiming their product was the breakfast of champions. Management expert Ken Blanchard emphasized the importance of feedback by referring to it as the breakfast of champions. To be successful, you need to be open to feedback about where you are doing well and where you could improve. This is the type of growth mindset we are trying to encourage in our students. We want to see progress reports and other types of feedback as an opportunity to keep growing. Over the next week, students will work closely with their advisers on this process.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
