Year 8

Pastoral Care Session, Chronicle Auction & Awards Highlights. 

On the 10 December, Year 8 students came together for a special pastoral-care session - a time for reflection, celebration, and connection. As part of this gathering, we held our annual Chronicle Auction and recognised outstanding students with awards for their achievements and contributions.

During this time, we introduced Dylan Harris and Claire Hanley who will be the Year 9 Learning Leader and Year 9 Assistant Principal respectively. Noah Kent and Visal Ean will also be part of the team as Assistant Learning Leaders.

The atmosphere of the session was uplifting, with students and staff celebrating collective effort, kindness, and growth. Congratulations to all recipients and a big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the auction. 

Congratulations to Ryder Slama, Lachlan Hinton and Ryan Sarjeant who received the Ultimate Epic Awards for having the highest number of Green Chronicles in all of Year 8.
