Year 8 News
Sara Naidu - Year 8 Year Level Leader
As we wrap up Term 2, we’d love to share with our families and wider community what our amazing Year 8 students have been up to. This term has been a true reflection of our college values, with students demonstrating what it means to be respectful, responsible, and part of a learning community.
Year 8 Camp – Phillip Island Adventure Resort
One of the standout highlights of the term was our three-day Year 8 Camp at Phillip Island Adventure Resort. Students challenged themselves physically and socially while building new friendships and strengthening connections with their teachers. They were brave, resilient and inclusive, living examples of our college values in action. Staff were incredibly proud of the way our Year 8s represented themselves and our school. It was a joy to see them working together, encouraging one another and having fun along the way.
Bullying Prevention Performance – Mashed Theatre
In Week 9, students attended a powerful performance by Mashed Theatre, focusing on bullying, online behaviour and respectful relationships. This live performance encouraged students to reflect on how they interact with others and reinforced the importance of being respectful and responsible, both in person and online. Students were highly engaged and left with practical tools to support themselves and their peers.

Looking Ahead to Term 3
In Term 3, our Year 8s will relocate to a new learning space in the S building portables as part of the exciting lead-up to our school’s future building works. While change brings challenges, it also creates opportunities for new routines, stronger connections and fresh growth.
We remain focused on building a strong, united Learning Community and know that success is best achieved when families, students, and staff work together. We encourage all families and guardians to reach out to your child’s Engagement Curriculum Teacher at any time. We’re here to work with you.
When we are aligned and consistent in our messaging and expectations, we help create stability, trust and success for our young people. Thank you again for your ongoing support. It’s been a busy but incredibly rewarding term, and we’re so proud of our Year 8 students.
Wishing all our families a safe and restful break, we look forward to more success in Term 3!
