Year 7 Camp

The Year 7 students had a fabulous time at camp last week. The weather wasn't on their side, but it didn't deter them. A great time to bond, get to know each other better and share in challenging activities that encouraged them to show their college values of; Respect, Responsibility, Personal Best and Sense of Community.

“I really enjoyed the talent show because everyone was laughing at funny acts, especially the rap battle.” Nico

“The most thrilling activity I did during my time at camp was the flying fox, because of the view and how it felt." Shanaya

“It was fun to hang out with friends in the cabins and just sit and talk with each other. The activities were fun. I liked going down the water slide.” Mihalis

Year 8 Humanities - Cape Schanck

Year 8 students recently experienced the amazing coastal structures, vegetation and beaches of the Cape Schanck National Park for their Humanities classes.

Year 8 Camp Reminder

Wednesday 10th May sees the Year 8 students head to The Summit Camp in Trafalgar for three days of fun and challenging activities. This camp gives students the opportunity to make new connections with fellow students and establish stronger friendships with others.

The ‘what to bring’ list and payment options (including instalments) are included in the Compass event.

If you have any questions regarding the camp, please contact Karly Hargreaves, Co-curricular Support at har@cheltsec.vic.edu.au

Junior School Reminders

SCHOOL DIARIES:

Diary use across the Junior School has improved greatly this term. Most students have their diaries in class and are reaping the benefits of recording due dates for assignments and tests, to be able to plan their homework and revision. It is also handy to record dates, excursions and sports events in the school diary. Could all parents please continue to encourage their students to utilise their diary.

EQUIPMENT:

In Junior School, laptops are required for every subject and assignments are accessible through Google Classroom. Could parents please ensure that there is a regular routine at home for charging laptops and checking the completion of Learning Tasks both on Google Classrooms and Compass. Please email the Junior School Team if assistance is required.

There are two subjects that have unique equipment requirements:

1. PE and PACE

PE and PACE classes require a full Cheltenham Secondary College PE uniform, to be brought to school in a separate (named) bag. Students will change into and out of their PE uniform at the beginning and end of their scheduled PE and PASE classes. Students need to bring a note if they are not in uniform for these classes. As per our regular uniform requirements, students without a note, and out of uniform, will accrue ‘out of uniform’ points which do accumulate to an afterschool

detention (to be scheduled on Compass.) Please remind your children to check their timetable the evening before, and pack their PE uniform into their school bag.

2. Food Technology

Food Technology requires students to bring two tea towels and a food container to every practical lesson, to be able to participate. Please remind your children to check their timetable the evening before and pack the equipment into their school bag. Footwear is limited to hard leather school shoes in the Food Tech kitchens (to protect against scading/burning by hot liquid spills, and possible injury if a sharp knife is dropped.) Black runners are not acceptable.
