YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 4
Year 7 Vaccinations
Thursday, 29 October 2026
Queensland Health staff will visit the College as part of the School Immunisation Program to administer vaccinations to Year 7 students who have returned completed parental permission forms.
Student Diary Focus
Our Week 4 focus on student diary use is assessment planners. During Pastoral Group, students will record upcoming due dates for subject drafts and assessments.
As this is a short term, it is particularly important that students stay organised and understand their assessment commitments to manage their time effectively and stay on top of schoolwork.
Please support your child at home by reinforcing the importance of regular diary use and signing their diary each week.
House Competition
Year 7 students have begun their final House Competition for the year! Over the coming weeks, our Year 11 mentors will lead Pastoral Groups in a knockout relay competition featuring activities such as basketball shooting, skipping, shuttle runs, burpees and beanbag throwing.
Students will work collaboratively as a class to allocate participants to activities that best suit their strengths, building the strongest possible team to represent their House.
We look forward to an exciting few weeks as our Pastoral Groups work together to compete for valuable House points!
