Kudos:
Thanks to all staff for meeting the Report Card deadlines! A special thanks to the secretarial staff for ensuring all necessary information was accurately prepared and packaged for student delivery last Friday!
Thanks to Zidar and Athill for taking over 20 International Students out on a trip to Port Sydney for three days! Students exclaimed they had a marvelous experience last year as they got to do things they have never done before outdoors! Hence, they are now taking advantage of being offered such trips again! So, that tells you how much they have enjoyed the experience!
TA Tip(s) of the week
We launch our Advent Service projects this week! This is a great time for our advisees to help those in need, but some may not be able to do so. A great practice is to announce to the group that those who many not be able to contribute financially can speak to you about it in private.
Please also be mindful as you prepare for your Christmas TA outings that some of your advisees may be feeling the financial strain of Christmas expenses. As you always do, please find creative ways so that all advisees can participate in this wonderful tradition!
Have a great week everyone!
