Middle school update

We are excited to welcome our Year 9 and 10 students back for another fantastic year. We look forward to working with them and supporting their growth throughout the year.

Year 9 Vision:

• Students will develop strategies to manage challenges and setbacks, understanding that change is a natural part of life.

• They will build confidence to tackle problems, take risks, and view failure as an opportunity for growth.

• Students will recognize the importance of making connections within their community as a key factor in building resilience.

Year 10 Vision:

• Students will learn and practice mindfulness to improve their ability to self-manage attention. This will help them focus on their studies, manage academic pressures, and balance other demands.

• They will develop skills to support a successful transition to VCE and future pathways.
