Year 8 Wellbeing Days

On Tuesday 1st, Wednesday 2nd and Friday 4th August Year 8 students attended the Wellbeing Days at EVs in Croydon. Students were involved in discussions and activities in which they learned more about respectful relationships, safe and legal use of social media and the support services on offer for youth in the Maroondah district.

It was great to see Year 8 students positively engaged in the discussions, contributing their ideas, working with peers, and respecting the session leaders. The Year 8s enjoyed a lunchtime break at the park, before returning to complete the final session of the day.

Year 8 Celebration Activity

At our combined assembly on Tuesday 8th August, an announcement was made about a plan to take the Year 8s out for a celebratory activity at the end of Term 3 2017. We kindly thank those Year 8 students who have put forward their suggestions for the special event. The Junior School team will now meet to discuss possible options, and to decide on what will best suit the cohort. Stay tuned for more information.

RSC Production

On Thursday 10th August Year 8 students were treated to a performance of this year’s production of Chicago. We would like to thank the Year 8s for their wonderful behaviour and respect shown towards the performers. From all accounts, our Year 8 students were blown away by the performance, and the production team was thankful for the opportunity to perform their show to a packed audience.

The event also included an exciting announcement (made during interval) about this year’s Junior Production of Shrek Jr! which will take place in Term 4 2017. We highly encourage Junior School students to get involved in the Junior Production, whether they audition for the cast, or apply for any of the behind the scenes teams, including stage crew, make up crew or the tech team. So, keep your eyes on the Compass news feed for more details and information about the show, or head to http://www.rscproduction.com.au/junior-production.html
