I CAN DO THAT: FOR MYSELF, MY FUTURE, MY WORLD
Self-Efficacy:
Delta West Academy wants every child to be successful in whatever they choose to do - to be inspired as life-long achievers.
So, we instill an “I can do that” attitude in all of our students. Dr. Alberta Bandura calls it “self-efficacy: a person’s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation”. Students with a strong sense of self-efficacy:
- View challenging problems as tasks to be mastered
- Are better able to think productively by applying positive thinking skills when facing a challenge
- Engage with high motivation
- Focus stronger effort on any task, activity, interest or goal
- Recover quickly from setbacks and disappointments
- Are less vulnerable to stress and anxiety
STUDENTS DEVELOP THIS SELF-EFFICACY THROUGH THE EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS WITH OUR STAFF TEAM AND THEIR FRIENDS IN OUR DYNAMIC CLASSROOMS.
We know our approach to instilling the "I can do that " attitude works because students of varying ability levels, from average to gifted, all achieve Acceptable and Standards of Excellence on Provincial Achievement tests, and 100% of our Grade 12 graduates enjoy being accepted into the universities and programs of their choice. Our alumni keep in touch with us to share their accomplishments and their continued inspired journeys.

News and Events
DWA is partnering with local vendor, Owl's Nest Books. This will bring our students an amazing opportunity to explore new books, authors and genres as we invoke a love of reading and passion for literacy.
DWA Students will receive their second report card this month followed by Parent-Teacher Interviews.
At DWA, parents can expect regular communication from teachers in addition to three reporting periods that provide timely and direct feedback on student progress.
It's March Madness and our Student vs Teacher challenges are well underway.
At DWA we are more than just a school, we are a community where students and staff thrive based on the connections that are made, the trust that is developed and the respect that is created.
We look forward to these upcoming challenges and interacting with students in other environments beyond the tradtional learning.
