Middle School Report

Middle School News

Middle School has been involved in many events over the last fortnight allowing many students to show excellence, respect and creativity. We had a busy week with the National Day Against Bullying on Friday. The students could do activities in the home group or at lunchtime. The final day showed students and staff working together to create a human sign. If you are finding out that your child is being bullied, whether through social media, on the bus or at school could you please let us know as soon as possible so that we can address the issue.

It was fantastic to see so many of our Middle School Cohort participating in the School Athletic Sports on Monday and supporting their house .

As we end end the first cycle with CAT's due in all subjects, please take the time for you and your child to reflect on the results, look at organisation and what other avenues they could do to help their learning such as screen time, bed time.

Middle School Leaders

Thank-you to the Middle School Leaders and the Home Group Captains who helped organize and support the activities for Anti-bullying week.

Year 7

It has been great to see a lot of the Year 7’s practicing in sports teams for inter school sport next week, starting to get involved in clubs that have all started up and were a big part of Antibullying week.

Year 8

Last Friday half of the students embarked on the first activity for the Personal Best Program - Surfing at Phillip Island. There were a couple of students in the group who showed surfing ability at the start but as the day progressed many others experienced catching a wave whether on their knees or standing. Thank-you to the staff who also tried out surfing, Mr Molan, Mr Kollipara, Mr Tan, Miss Badoche and Miss Jepson.

Year 9

Last Thursday most of the Year 9’s went into the city and visited the Grand Prix to do Stem Activities. For most of the students this meant that they had to catch trains and trams. This experience will also help the students to be aware of the Public Transport system for Urban Connections in Semester 2. Thank-you to Mr Pesoulis, Mr Lam, Ms Field, Mr Kollipara, Mrs Lal, Mr Bailey and Mr Bragg.
