What a Few Weeks It’s Been!

By Year 8 Student Leaders: Lola Phair & Matilda Lane

The past couple of weeks in Year 8 have been super busy, with heaps of exciting things going on. Here are just a few of the highlights!

Sports, sports, and more sports!

Lots of us have been out representing the school in different sports lately. One of the biggest achievements came from our Senior Girls Lawn Bowls team. They smashed it at regionals and made it all the way to States! Even though they didn’t win any games at States, they came back with the Spirit of Sport award, which is an awesome achievement and shows just how much heart and team spirit they had.

We also had a bunch of students head to Morwell for the Regional Volleyball tournament. Unfortunately, they didn’t come away with a win either, but they stayed positive the whole time and are already pumped for next year!

Do it for Dolly Day

Last Friday was Do it for Dolly Day, and students wore blue to honour Dolly Everett and help raise awareness about bullying. We had a Webex assembly where we learned about ways to deal with bullies and how to support people who might be struggling. It was a really important message and a good reminder to look out for one another.

Athletics Day 

Athletics Day was held last Thursday, and it was such a great time. It was awesome seeing everyone dressed in their house colours, cheering for their friends, and giving all the events a go. There was such a good vibe all day, and even if you weren’t the fastest runner or highest jumper, it was all about having fun and getting involved.

It’s been a pretty full-on couple of weeks, but also really fun. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Year 8!

8N Food Tech

This week our Year 8 students made 'Healthy Burgers' in their food tech classes.

The students did a wonderful job, the burgers look great and vey delicious!
