WINKLER COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTRE 300 – 561 Main St. Winkler, MB R6W 1G3 “Where Our Students Are Always #1”

Testimonial “returning to school has been interesting and a rewarding experience. I liked the fact that I could work at my pace and appreciated the one on one help that was provided by teachers. The class atmosphere was one of warmth and friendliness and made the learning process easier and a lot of fun. It was also great motivation for me to achieve my very best. I wanted my diploma so that I could further my education in the fields that I enjoy working in. After four years of struggling and making sacrifices I am grateful to have accomplished this. I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, but will miss the people, the friends I’ve made over the years.” Former Student

Strategies for Academic Success:

1.Attend Regularly Your best chance for success is regular attendance. If you have to miss a class, check with a classmate to get notes and assignments.

2. Connect With Other Students Studying together and talking about your school-work with others can help YOU learn!

Use Your Student Planner Write all test dates and homework in your planner. Important dates and study tips are in your student planner. Carry it with you and refer to it often.

Make sure you understand your assignments. Check with your teacher to make sure you know exactly what to do.

Do Your Homework Be smart about using your time. Use free time-slots to do your homework. Have a regular time and place to do homework at home.

Hand In Your Assignments Your teacher cannot give you a mark if you do not hand in your work. If an assignment is giving you trouble, show your teacher what you have completed and ask for help.

Plan For Test And Big Assignments Make sure you understand exactly what you need to do. Double check with a classmate or your teacher if you are not sure. Write a plan of what you will do and when you will do it.

What To Do If You Need Help: Get help as soon as you need it. Talk to your teacher and ask for help. Go to Remedials. Remedials are scheduled for one hour on a daily basis. They are times when you can get extra help from subject area teachers. Remedials are most helpful if you go as soon as you start having trouble and if you bring a specific question or assignment. If you are not sure when remedials are scheduled, ask your teacher or check in the office.
