Induction and transtion

Issue: we have a number of student’s feelings unsafe about S.a.m.s because parents think that we would set a bad example for little children like New Year 7 and 8.

Minor:
• How can we make our sams students participate in sams activities?
• Why do parents feel unsafe with letting their children in role at sams?
• What should we do to make parents and there children feel welcome to sams?
• What could sams do to make them safe?
• How could we make there parents feel more comfortable about bringing there student to saint Andrews?
• Could we help them to feel comfortable by coming to there school?
• How could primary kids be involed with older students?
• How could we make parents be involed in the situation at sams?
• How could the induction be?
• How could we help the community get involed with our school

Big Question:
How can we make parents and new student feel welcome and safe at sams.
