At the halfway point of the term, students are locking into assessments and classroom learning. As we move towards the end of the term, please check in with your young person to help support them to stay on top of their work. Please have a look at Compass Learning Tasks to see what needs completion as well as task outlines and due dates. 

 

On Monday 25 August Banyule Council will be coming into school to support the year 7 Immunisation Program. Students will have time to rest before returning to class.

 

The Year 7 Camp is coming up very soon:

  • Year 7ABCD: Monday 1 September – Wednesday 3 September, 2025

  • Year 7EFGH: Wednesday 3 September – Friday 5 September, 2025

     

If students have lost their packing list, they are able to collect another copy from Junior School. Please ensure that students do not pack laptops, bluetooth speakers etc. We would like to support our Year 7’s to build meaning relationships with each other without the use of technology.

 

Last term students designed and created wind powered vehicles in science. The winner for each class qualified to the year level race which occurred during last week’s Year 7 morning assembly. It was lovely to see students supporting their classmates in the year level race. A big congratulations to all involved.

 

A kind reminder to please communicate to the school any challenges with attendance. This can be achieved by entering information through Compass and adding a ‘parent note’ to communicate to teachers and staff why your child is absent. This information is vital to help us to meet your young person at their point of need and offer additional supports when required. Additionally, please communicate any planned absences to your child’s coordinator. Note that planned extended absences need to be communicated and confirmed by Vincent Sicari, but this can be achieved via communications with your child’s coordinator.

 

Lots going on as always in the Junior School and the team would like to thank you all for your support.
