Personalised Learning underpins all our ways of working at Runcorn State High School. Personalised Learning is student centred and fosters collaboration with families. On Tuesday 23 July we will be having Personalised Learning Day for all year levels in lieu of Parent Teacher Interviews. These interviews will occur between 8.30 am and 7.00 pm.
The research says that building relationships between teachers, students and parents improves academic outcomes of students and their sense of belonging to the school. These meetings are intended to be student led and students will be given an opportunity to reflect on their Semester 1 results to set goals for the future.
Year 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12
Students and their families will have a 20 minute meeting with their Home Class teacher or case manager to discuss overall student performance in classes, welfare concerns, set goals and choose elective subjects for 2025.

Students and families will attend a 30 minute SET plan interview to discuss their senior pathway and choose subjects for 2025.
