Please, note the following changes due to COVID 19:

Dear Parents, and Grade 8 and 9 Students,

Unfortunately, we could not run our Core Competency Chats as planned due to the COVID 19 changes. We have now posted the link to an alternative reflection questionnaire that we would like grade 8 and 9 students to complete instead. Emails will also be sent out with the same link and extra information. Please, stay tuned and make sure to check your email!
We would have much preferred to have our chats in person. 

This website will continue to help you complete your self reflection. Below, you will find:
  • A link to the Core Competency self reflection by grade for you to fill out and submit electronically by June 12, 2020
  • A link to the Core Competency booklets you have already worked with to help you fill out your self reflection
  • "I statements" that will help you with your responses, especially if you are an English Learner
  • A summary of what Core Competencies are
  • Links to the relevant government websites
Grade 8s: use these links to access your Core Competency Questionnaire and the supporting work booklet. 
Grade 9s: use these links to access your Core Competency Questionnaire and the supporting work booklet.
These I-statements might help you with writing your answers in the self reflection. They are available in several languages.

What are the Core Competency Chats?


​ It's a co​nversation led by you!

​You will be chatting with your Core Competency teacher.
Chats are approximately 5 minutes long.

How will you get prepared for your Core Competency Chat?

During your Tutorial classes in February and March, you will reflect on your strengths and areas of growth within each Core Competency.  You will be taught how to use the BNSS Learning Portfolio to self-assess these strengths and areas of growth.


The Big Question:
​
How have you developed in the Core Competencies throughout the past year?
​
Your Learning Portfolio will guide you through your Core Competency Chat.  By using it, you will be able to discuss your strengths and areas of growth within each Core Competency.  You will also understand how these core competencies may inter-connect. You are encouraged to bring other pieces of evidence, for example pictures, projects, videos or portfolios, to support your chat and help lead the conversation.
