Wargomerrin - Year 7

Celebrating English

The study of English in Year 7 is focused on the Victorian Curriculum Achievement Standards. Students engage with Reading, Writing, and Speaking and Listening strands throughout the year. 

By the end of the year, students will understand how texts are created to be dependent on audience and purpose. They can identify and understand characters, plot and thematic choices made by authors. 

A range of language features are studied, with a particular focus on how language is used to create an effect or impact an audience. Students study fiction and non-fiction texts, both written and multi-modal structures, and will write in a range of forms, including persuasive, narrative, poetry, and informative pieces.

Headstart 2026

On Monday 1st December, our amazing Year 7 students will kick off the Headstart Program for 2026, stepping boldly into Year 8! This is their chance to explore new subjects, meet inspiring teachers, and get a taste of all the exciting challenges middle school has to offer.

It’s all about confidence, curiosity, and starting the year strong. We are so proud of everything our students have achieved and can’t wait to see them shine as they take this exciting next step in their learning journey!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your students and the Headstart program, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 5150 4818

Learning Tools Sprint

As we prepare students for their next year level, it’s important that everyone is 'in class, on time, and ready for learning'. Commencing Monday 11th November, students have been participating in a Learning Tools Sprint to ensure all students arrive prepared with their own learning equipment. This includes pens, pencils, books, and laptops.

While most students are consistently ready, some still need additional support. Please help support your student with having their learning tools ready to go.

Being organised supports success in their upcoming Headstart opportunities. Let’s work together to build great learning habits!

Hub staff will visit classrooms to check readiness and offer guidance where needed. Being prepared every day ensures full participation in learning and success in our upcoming Headstart program.

Social Media Minimum Age Campaign

The Australian Government is protecting young Australians at a critical stage of their development, through world-first social media age restrictions taking effect on 10 December.

It’s not a ban, it’s a delay to having accounts...

Age-restricted platforms won’t be allowed to let under-16s create or keep an account. That’s because being logged into an account increases the likelihood that they’ll be exposed to pressures and risks that can be hard to deal with. These come from social media platform design features that encourage them to spend more time on screens, while also serving up content that can harm their health and wellbeing.

The delay gives you extra time to talk about online safety and wellbeing with your child, to help them prepare for the risks and pressures of social media when they turn 16. It’s breathing space for them to build digital, social and emotional skills, and to understand the importance of reaching out for help if things go wrong.

More details about how the age restrictions will operate and other relevant information can be found on the eSafety Commissioner Social Media Age Restrictions Hub.
