Year 9 News

There is just so much going on at the moment.  We have just completed our NAPLAN testing for all Year 9 students and are now in the middle of the Attitudes to School Survey.  In the middle of all this we have managed to squeeze in an animal petting zoo, World Youth Forum and Outdoor Education camp this week and the HPV excursion last week.  At the end of this term, for the last week we have the free week long camp at the Summit. Then on the 23rd of July in week 3 of next term we are off for the City Camp for three days.

Morrisby Reports 2022

Most students also completed their Morrisby reports and, with parents signing and returning their permission sheets, they will have a one on one interview with a Morrisby representative to discuss their results.  

This is a fantastic, free service for all of our students to help them find some future direction and goals for their working life.

Progress Reports

Progress reports were released this week with an overall improvement in the level of results across Year 9.  We will hand out the awards for high attendance and high learning engagement next week.

Animal Petting Zoo Incursion

No student could resist the cute a cuddly animals that visited our school on Tuesday this week.  There were so many little friends to hold and nurse.  Baby goats, guinea pigs, ducks, quail and much more were held in the Science classrooms under the supervision of Ms Tomnay. It was wonderful to see such gentle, respectful and considerate interaction from our students and the animals.

Year 9/10 Summit Camp

Year 9 and 10 students who want to join us will be spending the last week of Term 2 to the Summit Camp. Places are almost all gone so make sure you give permission for your child to attend as soon as possible. Students that do not attend will be participating in a learning program back at school. 

Year 9 Melbourne Camp 

Year 9 Melbourne Experience Camp planning continues. This camp will be a 3 night stay in Melbourne where students will have the opportunity to experience a range of cultural, educational and leisure activities in the Melbourne CBD. It is an important part of developing a wider understanding of the world around us.  We are extremely keen to get as many students involved as possible.  The camp will cost approximately $400 per student and I encourage all families to begin planning and putting money aside to cover this cost.  Students have been informed of the camp and expressions of interest can still be made by students on Teams.
