Year 7

Welcome Year 7s 2018

A big warm welcome to our Year 7 students who started at St Norbert College last week. On the first day of school, we commenced with a group assembly where we prayed together and Mr Harvey welcomed the students. The students were then led by their Heads of House and student leaders to their Homerooms. Here they met their Homeroom teacher and peer support leaders. Throughout the day, students became more familiar with their surroundings and routines. They met their teachers and students in their classes.

I am very proud of the Year 7 students as they have settled in very well, especially as the first few days of school have been challenging at times. However, students are feeling more comfortable and happier as they continue to make new friends, get to know their teachers, find their way around the College and become more organised. Thank you so much to our staff and students, who have been very friendly and helpful towards our new students. 

I can be contacted at the College should parents need any further assistance.  I look forward to your support and feedback throughout 2018.

Miss C Abel (Head of Year 7)

Student Comments:

Before I came to St Norbert's I was nervous, but all the staff made it very comforting for me and all the kids in my Homeroom are very kind and polite.                                                                                         (Aleisha Patriarca, T1)

At first I thought it was going to be impossible to adjust to high school life, but I feel so comfortable here now. I’m looking forward to all the exciting experiences ahead! I can now call myself a true student of St Norbert College.                                                                              (Mary Carter, M1)

I was excited to go to high school, but on my first day I had no friends. I have now made friends and I’m excited for the carnivals.

When I walked into the school grounds I was extremely nervous. When I knew where my Homeroom was I went inside. I didn’t expect to see Year 11s. The teacher was very understanding and nice. Within a few minutes I made a few Year 11 friends and got to know the teacher.

St Norbert College is such a wonderful school. The teachers are very kind and helpful, especially my Homeroom Teacher, Ms Teo. On the first day of Year 7, I was nervous, but as the day proceeded it felt like a regular school day. Thank you.                                                    (Anthony Paradiso, P5)
