Growing Together

YEAR 9 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 10

SEL

This week in SEL, students explored the concepts of empathy and the bystander effect. By showing kindness towards others, we aim to create a more compassionate and supportive community. Students were encouraged to think of three acts of kindness they could perform. Hopefully, you'll get to experience some of these thoughtful gestures at home over the holidays!

Term 1 Wrap Up

Kudos to all Year 9 students for a fantastic Term 1! As we head into the holidays, please remind your child to bring home all their belongings. Lockers need to be emptied for safety reasons. Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy the well-deserved break!

Year 9 Camp

Exciting news! Camp is coming up next term, and we can't wait for all the fun and learning experiences ahead. Please keep an eye out for the paperwork, as we will start sending out information and permission slips very soon. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. We expect all students to attend this important College event, and we're here to help with any preparations. Let's get ready for an amazing camp experience!
