Personal Goal SettingsAt the start of each term, PGA staff conducts a one-on-one meeting with PGAstudents in regards to their school and life views and goals. In thesemeetings, individual goal are set solely by the student, giving the student fullresponsibility for their actions and choices. Mid-term students goals arereviewed with PGA staff and adjustments are made or congratulations aregiven on efforts achieved.PGA Team Goal:At the end of every Enrichment class, PGAleaders take the class to set their weekly teamgoal. It’s about getting the girls input andgiving them a little bit of control on theprogram. All students must agree upon goaland abide by it throughout the rest of theupcoming week. For example, in Week 5 thePGA Enrichment Class (30 students) set a goalto be on time to each lesson during the wholeweek.The girls made a fantastic effort of droppingtheir lateness from 36 students per week toonly 20 students per week. Student A usuallylingers around the PGA room avoiding classand PGA staff usually had to remind Student Aof class times. Student A is much moreresponsible and takes upon themselves to getto class on time, without reminders.PALMERSTON GIRLS ACADEMY AMBASSADORkara huddlestone was of the school group to meetpresident barack obama on his visit to darwinOther examples of goals that were set include:• Examples of goals of the week are 100% attendance• No lateness• Apply yourself more in class• Complete one assignment or class activity• Attend all trainings©RM&LA Palmerston Girls Academy Annual Report: December 20117
