Junior school - welcome!

by Mr Nic Barca, Head of Junior School

Start of the School Year

What an exceptional start we have had in our Junior School! We welcomed our new Year 7 students with an alternative program designed to help them transition smoothly into secondary school life. This program focused on getting organised, setting up laptops, understanding key policies, and developing routines to support their learning.

Our Year 8 students returned to school seamlessly, and it is clear that the strong foundation built in Year 7 has set them up for success. During classroom visits, we have seen fantastic collaboration, positive relationships, and a commitment to learning, which is a testament to their growth and maturity.

Year 7 Parent Information Session

We recently hosted our Year 7 Parent Information Session, providing families with essential insights into their child's transition to secondary school. Thank you to all families who attended and engaged with the session. Your ongoing support plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and successful start for our students.

Year 7 Camp

In Week 4 our Year 7s students headed on camp to Mt Eliza. For students, it was an opportunity to build friendships, develop independence, and participate in a range of engaging activities.
