MIDDLE SCHOOL

Year 7 Social Event

Last week the Year 7 Social Evening was held at the College. A special thank you to Carly Sayer and the Middle School team for all of the work that was put in to making the Social Evening a big success. The students of each class worked very hard to bring together their displays for the evening which served as a meeting point for our families. The work which students have been completing through the Discovery and Transition program meant that they were able to confidently introduce their families to their friends and build these important social connections. 

Carly has worked extremely hard to develop and promote the role of the Parent Class Representatives this year. One of the roles undertaken on this particular evening was to introduce themselves to other parents and encourage them to join the class communication list. If you missed the opportunity given to sign up to the class communication list, please email Liz Podger podger.elizabeth.m@edumail.vic.gov.au  with your name, student’s form group and contact details.  These lists will be finalised over the next week, and Parent Class Representatives will be making contact with other families to organise the first social event for parents. I must also thank Jo Menzies, one of our 7C parent representatives for speaking at the information session about the importance of building the relationship between family, school and each other. 

Thank you to our peer leaders and members of our Intermediate VCAL program for organising activities such as colouring in and games for the younger siblings of our families.

Student Reflection

Going to the Eureka Skydeck was an awesome experience for our group. On our way to the Skydeck, we took a bus but we got off at the wrong stop and had to walk to another bus stop and then walk to arrive at the front of the tower.

We all paid and went to the top floor. The view was incredible. Some of the group paid extra to go on The Edge. The Edge was so cool because we had glass as the floor, so we could see everything.

After we had finished up we went to lunch at Melbourne Central. It was really cool because we got to walk around. Overall the experience was great and set a high bar to top off in the weeks to come.
