YEAR 7 AMBASSADORS

Transition to High School

In the first few weeks of December the Year 7 Ambassadors go and speak to four of the feeder primary schools including Ivanhoe Primary School, Ivanhoe East Primary School, Kew Primary School and Alphington Primary School.

This year we have expanded the Year 7 Ambassador Program and selected 10 students as ambassadors in Term 1. Our 10 Year 7 Ambassadors for this year were :

Ariana Balmores, 7E

Jack Casey, 7D

Seren Danckert, 7C

Finlay Gough, 7A

Hoy Hoang, 7I

Caledonia Lastdrager, 7C

Andre Moradi, 7I

Shikha Raina, 7E

Lana Roberts, 7F

Sepanta Sadafi, 7H

This year the students have done the following :

• Spoken at the Parent Information Evening for Prospective Year 7  Parents which runs in late April.
• Taken part in photo shoots with the Principal.
• Visited four of the our main feeder Primary schools to speak to the current Grade 6 students about life at Kew HS and tips for transitioning to high school.

Well done to all of the Year 7 Ambassadors who participated, it was a worthwhile experience for all those involved.

A Worthwhile Experience

In the first week of December, Seren Danckert, Lana Roberts and I went to Kew Primary School and Ivanhoe East Primary school to talk to the year 6 students about the transition to Kew High School. 

We told them how to organise themselves, how to make friends, sporting opportunities, and subjects. We answered their questions about work load, detention, classes and other things that they might find helpful.

It was a worthwhile experience for the primary school students and we look forward to meeting some of them at Kew High School next year.
