Year 7 Coordinator

The last few weeks in the Junior Sub School have been very exciting. Students have participated in STEM and swimming, many different activities during Activities Week, the Grade 6 Orientation days and, of course, the amazing Awards Night.

Students in Years 7 and 8 participated in the STEM and swimming week. The Year 8 students made amazing theme parks as a class, collaborating to make working rides and attractions. They worked on these theme parks every day for a week. It was fantastic to see the teamwork and determination from the students. The Year 8 students presented their theme parks to the Year 7 students, competing for votes on the best theme park design. Also, during this week, both the Year 7 and 8 students took part in the swimming program. All the students had a great time, despite the weather not being the best. Overall, the STEM and swimming week was a huge success.

Many students in Year 7 and 8 participated in the Activity Week. This was a week of celebration with many different excursions that  students could sign up for such as DFO, bowling and Adventure Park. Students could also sign up for different activities that were run in the school from chess, Christmas activities and Movies. All the students enjoyed and celebrated their final week of school.

This week was quite a busy week with the Year 7 Orientation. Two days of fun activities and getting to know the new Year 7 students. Students participated in various classes from Maths and English, to Art, PE and cooking. All the students left, looking forward to joining the school community in 2024.

The final event at the school was the annual Awards Night. Everyone was extremely proud of the students that received their awards. All the staff were extremely happy with the students and their achievements throughout the year.

Overall, the junior sub school has had a great year, and we look forward to seeing what all of the students achieve in 2024.

From everyone at the Junior Sub School, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
