Junior School

A Message from the JS team

Congratulations to all the year 7 and 8 students for a successful second term. Students are to be commended for their persistence to the end of a very long term. 

Thank you to the students for their outstanding commitment to their learning. Teachers have sung the praises of Junior School students who have shown respect, readiness to learn and developed strong connections as a Junior School cohort. There is a big sense of pride, teaching a group of students who are interested in learning, showing kindness towards others and making the Junior School a great place to be. Thank you to each individual student that has embodied these behaviours.  

To our Year 7 students and families, well done for completing their first semester in High School! From the start of the year, there was a positive energy from our Year 7 students who have adapted  into High School routines and explored more of the college. As Term 2 progressed, we saw our students embrace many opportunities from attending the inter-school sport, music camp, cross country, and completing the Attitude to School Survey all before the famous end of term celebration assembly led by Ms Anderson and Mr Hanna.  

This term, our Year 8 students truly enhanced the school value of Responsibility, a challenge set by Mr Idris at the start of Term 2. It has been incredibly rewarding to witness students consistently trying to step up, take ownership of their learning, and demonstrate accountability for their actions both in and out of the classroom. Staff have reported seeing a notable increase in students' engagement, organisation, and a mature approach to their wellbeing and learning goals. Congratulations to those Year 8 students for embracing this challenge with such dedication and achieving positive results through living the value of Responsibility! 

Thank you to the families for your guidance and support at home. We know that the successes of our cohort come from the values that our families instil at home. Over semester 2, we look forward to continuing our partnerships with families, embracing warmer weather and continuing the learning growth of our young people.  

We want to wish all the students and families a wonderful, adventurous, warm and safe term break. We look forward to making Term 3 another success starting on July 21.
