  • Whether the QSE is based on all schools, all boys schools or all girls school.
  • Lack of f2f interactions to communicate our rules over the past few years. They may not be clear about the offences and consequences.
  • Reduced numbers for detention. 

(2)
  • Latecoming process and suitable consequences or student. 
  • Tiered system for referral.
  • We are tight and strict with our discipline in school, and we expect high level of discipline else consequences are meted out to them for them.

(3) 
  • Another DM in the school. 
  • f2f times to inform students on our discipline approach and systems, and also the consequences for offences.
  • Getting our student leaders (prefects and PSLs) to be involved in discipline.
  • We have been doing a lot of (B) Address and Correct. We may have to focus more on the (A) Promote and Prevent and (C) Replace and Restore, using data to informed the team in improving the practices, structures and processes.
  • Collaboration with GDT, SLD, Prefects and IP department and also external agencies (SPF, MSF) for more upstream measures and more targeted interventions.
  • FGD with students and teachers to find out their perception of the school's discipline.

- @75th percentile
- Assign suitable FTs who will be able to inspire HOPE in these students.

Areas of concern/Contradictory findings:
2 classes particularly low in acad self-efficacy (3E5 2021) and (3N3 2021). These are NOT tail end classes. The students in these 2 classes WANT to do well, have been repeatedly reinforced by FTs and subject teachers to work hard. The messaging might have led them to believe they are weaker and the repeated poorer performances reinforced their own perception.

On the other hand, if you compare 3E4 2021 with 3E5 2021, the former did worse in academic performance on the whole, yet their self-efficacy is strong and positive. It could mean they have a stronger self-believe or they are more unrealistic with their learning strategies.

1. In line with Positive Classroom Culture, subject teachers intentionally adopt positive growth mindset messaging in daily interactions (e.g. you may not have done well this time, find out what went wrong, we can improve, one step at a time.)  
2. Sharing motivation and thinking strategies to overcome setbacks - the emphasis is on dealing with failures. It is alright to fail, how do we pick ourselves up?

1. Build mental resilience (grit/toughness) to handle longer tasks, long-term progress, or projects. How to break down larger tasks into baby steps? (In our individual subjects, CCE VIA projects, etc, intentionally scaffold planning and monitoring strategies to guide the cognitive development in these areas. Repeat in different projects to strengthen their learning and self-belief.)
2. Integrate the QSE like questions e.g. I feel I am able to learn the skills...; or our own questions e.g. I have a concrete plan to improve my studies this term; I have a way of monitoring my own progress ..... into termly check-in survey. Hence rather than having the survey as a dip stick of emotional well being alone, monitor the cognitive well-being too.
3. Developing Gabrielites' self-directedness/independent learning ability by enhancing ASP/HBL. This is done by getting them to learn how to - self-evaluate their work (given some solution); start with basic foundation exercises (the need to drill and practice basic skills e.g. simple factorisation, or foundation grammar).
4. In the termly reflection, we could intentionally get students to reflect on their growth - what have they matured or become better in? (e.g. improved on solving quadratic equations; understood better a science concept; improved on promptness of submission for a subject; adopted a better learning/time-management strategy...) 
5. Monitor & review these classes even more closely e.g. during monthly CMT meetings so as to render support in a timely manner.

- 33% of students have less than 6hrs sleep
- this could be a result of gaming/use of gadgets which affect their sleep routine
- 3T1 has less sleep during weekends. Could it be because they are out with family (as indicated by the strong family relationship in social wellbeing)
- however, this corresponds with a study which showed that Singapore Sec 2&3 students sleep on average 6.5hrs.
