The Form System
When students come to Lincoln they will be members of a Form of
about 40 students from Years 9-13. Students stay with this form
until they leave school. In the form they will get to know students
from all levels of the school and the older students will act as
their peer support leaders. Two or three teachers look after the
form.
While students are at school they will be shown how to study, how to
set goals, and also get advice on selecting subjects to let them
achieve their chosen careers.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to contact the Guidance staff if
they have any worries about their children or their children's
learning.
Guidance Programmes
Orientation Programme
We run an orientation programme for students when they first come to
school so that they can settle in quickly. Part of this is the Peer
Support Programme in which Year 13 students guide
them through a range of activities to help them feel part of our
community. For the first two days at school Year 9 will be the only
students here, apart from their peer support leaders. This allows
the new students to find their way around more easily.
Planning For Success
Form teachers help students reflect on their goals for learning and
their involvement in school activities. By doing this students take
more responsibility for their learning by setting positive and
achievable goals for themselves.
Vocational Advice
Our Careers advisor can help students with their questions about
career and offer information, advice and counselling. Students can also use
the computer programmes, Kiwi Careers, Kiwi Careers Pathfinder and Career
Quest to help them find information about careers and all the opportunities
available. "The Real Game", a career programme, is a compulsory part of the
Social Studies course for Year 10 students.
Course Counselling
Towards the end of each year students sit down with the teachers
responsible for their level and talk about the subjects they want to
choose for the next year. The teachers will help students to choose
the subjects that are needed for their careers.
