• School work must be at a standard that their teachers were happy with• “No Train, No Play”The PGA would communicate with teachers on a weekly basis to discuss anyissues or concerns with any of the students that were selected to play in thegame on the weekend.Typically we had over 30 girls at training each week from both RoseberyMiddle School and Palmerston Senior College. Girls were required to train orthey did not play in the game (“NoTrain, No Play”). This incentiveincreased attendance rates and alsosocial behaviour problems within thePalmerston community.Students played football everySaturday morning.All staff wasinvolved in coaching, gamepreparation, running water, andtransporting girls to and from theirhomes. This also gave the PGA theopportunity to create and buildrelationships with parents and familymembers of the students.Personal Goal SettingsAt the start of each year, students are given a goal setting sheet, which asksthem to set short and long term goals for the school year. Each semester thesheets would be re-assessed with the students, to discuss wether or not thegoals they had set earlier had been achieved or changed. Once thisinformation was determined, the process was repeated and previous goalswere encouraged to be maintained.Year 12 End ofYear Gold CoastTripAt the start of theschool year, PGAstaff announcedto the Year 12students that theywould have theopportunityattend the GoldCoast trip at theend of the year.©RM&LA Palmerston Girls Academy Annual Report: December 201110
