Junior School News
Our Year 7 students have made a great start to Term 3, settling into their new schedules and continuing their enthusiastic involvement in so many opportunities within and beyond the classroom. So far, our Year 7 students have participated in focus groups as part of our school review, performed in School of Rock, represented the school in sport and more!
Although we are still in 2022, the Grade 6 to Year 7 transition process is well underway. Thank you to Mrs Sharee Dew and Mr Darin Joyce for their efforts liaising with primary schools and families to support our 2023 Year 7s with their move to high school.
