Tutor Time: Building the Whole Student

Feb 21, 2026 | Beyond The Classroom

The Year 7 and 8 tutorial sessions are an essential part of the school day, providing a structured space for our learners to grow beyond the traditional curriculum. Our goal this year is to support students in developing the skills to become self-regulated, resilient, and proactive members of North West College.


Motivation Mondays

We kick off the week by setting intentions, discussing goal-setting strategies, and finding the “why” behind our learning.


Tuesday Assembly

A time for us to come together as a wider school community to celebrate achievements and share important notices.


Wellbeing Wednesdays

Dedicated to Hauora, these sessions focus on mental and emotional health, mindfulness, and building positive relationships.


Academic Tracking Thursdays

Students dive into their data and progress, learning how to monitor their own achievements and identify areas for growth.


Feature Fridays

This is a student-led space! Each tutor group decides together how to use this time. This can, for example, be for a team-building challenge, a deep dive into a current event, or addressing a specific need identified by the class.
