Junior School Report

Welcome to 2023, it is with great pleasure that I welcome new families to the Junior S

chool at Woodmans Hill SC.  This year we also welcome some new members to the Junior school team. Jocelyn Gepp and Luke Caldwell have joined the team as year level leaders. 

• Year 7- Emily Beale
• Year 8- Jocelyn Gepp
• Year 9 Luke Caldwell
• Junior school administration- Minnka and Sammy

It has been a jam packed first week of term 1. The staggered start allowed for year 7 students and their families to attend the home group teacher interviews. The interviews enabled valuable information to be shared, important introductions to be made and questions to be addressed. In the following days as students in other year levels were welcomed back, the school was again buzzing with the start of year excitement.

The fun doesn’t stop, this week we are off to Athletic sports on Wednesday and Swimming sports next week! The week of 20th of February will see our year 7 students off to camp. Term 1 is busy!

Adjusting back to school can be difficult however, setting and sticking to routines is important. Regular bed and waking time helps us re-set and adjust to ‘back to school life’.. as hard as it is when that alarm sounds in the morning.

Adjusting back to school also means adjusting back to school expectations also. 

• Students are expected to be in full-school uniform every day.
• If a student is out of uniform, they’re expected to bring a signed note from a parent/ guardian and present it at the Junior school office for a pass, before school.
• PE uniform is only to be worn during PE classes. Students are expected to change into their uniform for PE classes only.

Should you have any difficulties purchasing uniform, please do not hesitate to reach out to the relevant year level leader for support.

Students have been allocated a locker each. Combination locks are the preferred lock. Students are not to be swapping lockers and should speak to their year level leader if there is an issue with their locker allocation.

I am looking forward to the term ahead. Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any concerns or questions.
