Georgiana Socoliu, Middle School Coordinator and Form Tutor at Avenor College talks about the key role of the Form Tutor in the learning process, about Form Time and the school day routine.
“Dear students and parents,
Seven years ago, when I joined the Avenor community, I was impressed by the dynamics of the school, the shared values, and also by the desire to be the best. Avenor students are challenged to go beyond their limits, develop their intellectual curiosity and discover their own path.
In the 2019-2020 school year, we celebrate the achievement of excellent results both at the National Evaluation exam and at the Cambridge Checkpoint. We enjoyed the seriousness and responsibility with which the Avenor students and teachers have prepared for these exams and we congratulate them for their determination.
At Avenor College, the form tutor plays a key role in the learning process, as an intermediary in the teacher-student-parent relationship, being also the first person to whom students go when they need guidance and counselling.
In the schedule of the day, from 2 pm to 2.15 pm we have Form time or time spent with the form tutor. Depending on the day of the week, we discuss issues related to routine and behaviour, punctuality, we discuss how to set our goals and learning methods. During Form time, projects are presented that relate to the passions of the students, class problems, national and international news are discussed, or events are organised (charitable, sporting, artistic, trips).
I wish for us in the current school year to enjoy happy moments, to be fascinated by knowledge, to be inventive and authentic, enthusiastic and daring.
