Middle School House Activities

Thanks to Kayla Jenkins for her accounts and reports from the first Middle School House Activities for the year.

On Tuesday the 7th of March, The Middle School Cohort participated in their first House Activities. All of the schools four houses, Freeman, Jackman, Mabo and Frazer actively contributed to this event. Activities included a 4 Way Tug of War, Tunnel Ball and The Hula Hoop Race. The overall house winner was Freeman! Thank you to all the teachers and student leaders who actively contributed and helped to make this event run smoothly and to all the students who engaged in this community event. We all look forward to future house events and activities, and hope to see more people get involved to support their house and year level.

Year 9 Assemblies

In the most recent Year 9 assembly, the students had the opportunity to hear from Phoebe Roach and Alice D’arcy about their experiences from a Facebook and Instagram cyber safety workshop.

Phoebe also delivered a fantastic presentation to the students on ‘Body Positivity’.  Phoebe was extremely confident and informative as she spread her message for students to be happy for who they are and grateful for what they have.  Hopefully all students in the audience can take away some of the great points Phoebe mentioned and spoke of regarding body positivity.

General Reminders

It is fantastic to see a large number of Year 10 students currently undertaking a VCE Unit 1 this semester.  As this is a privilege, we hope to see these students enjoying this opportunity and performing to the best of their abilities.

We would like to take this chance to inform students and parents that performing at a high standard in these VCE courses will be the deciding factor as to whether these students will have the chance to then undertake Units 3 & 4 in their chosen study next year.  Students must receive an overall grade of ‘B’ or higher to be guaranteed the opportunity to complete Units 3 & 4 next year.
