Year 9 News

As the final weeks of Semester 1 draw closer, I would like to congratulate each student for the efforts they have put in across the Semester and take a well -deserved break when the holidays arrive.

As the colder weather hits sickness comes more prevalent within our school community, if your child is absent due to sickness (or any other reason) please please record the absence on Kurnai College's absence hotline at (03) 5165 0600 - option 1 or contact me directly via Compass.

House Championship Update 

Massive congratulations to Forsyth House, who have made an incredible climb from the bottom of the ladder to the top in recent weeks! This remarkable turnaround has been driven by fantastic student participation in House Games and a significant increase in positive LBU recognitions. It’s been inspiring to see so many students stepping up, getting involved, and showing pride in their House. Keep up the great work, Forsyth — the competition is heating up!

Forsyth – 2267 points

Freeman – 2267 points

Thorpe – 1833 points

Siddle – 1799 points

Year 9 Camp

Spots still available 

We’re thrilled to see such a high level of enthusiasm for this year’s school camp, with 48 out of 60 places already filled!

Students will get the opportunity to explore the city and particpate in a range of activities such as the Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Cricket Ground, Eureka Skydeck, Yarra River Cruise, Southbank DFO, MCG Tour, Crown Movies, Melbourne Central, and Docklands Ice Skating.

With only 12 spots remaining, we encourage any students still considering attending to get their forms and payments in as soon as possible to avoid missing out. This promises to be a fun-filled and rewarding experience — don’t let the opportunity pass you by!

Students who have not met attendance, LBU, or behavioural expectations have already been omitted from eligibility to attend camp and parents/carers will be notified via email.

Final camp attendance will also be subject to review of each student’s attendance and behavioural data.

We look forward to a fantastic camp experience and appreciate your support in helping us manage the process fairly and efficiently.

Semester One Reports 

Semester One reports will be released in the coming weeks. I encourage you all to sit with your student and celebrate their success as well as review the feedback from their teachers and set learning goals for Semester Two.

Uniform

As the weather gets colder it is important that students are wearing the appropriate uniform such as:

• Kurnai logoed hoodie or puffer jacket.
• Navy blue or white long sleeved undershirts.
• Navy blue pants/shorts.

If you student does not have the correct uniform or needs assistance with uniform, please contact a member of the Year 9 Team.
