Buarth Gurru - Year 8 Fellas

Hi families and friends,

We hope this newsletter finds you all well and in good spirits.

It has been a really solid end to Term 3 for our Year 8 fellas at Buarth Gurru. We have seen some great effort, growth and maturity from the boys throughout the term, and there have been plenty of moments that have made us proud.

We have also seen a solid effort with homework this term. The fellas have been returning from dinner and getting into their studies, showing that they are becoming more settled with their routines and responsibilities.

Keeping Active

There has been plenty of activity and fun after school and dinner this term by spending time at St Kevin’s playing basketball, playing footy at Citizens Park, and kicking the ball around at Josh’s paddock and not to forget footy training.

They also love taking a moment to stop and appreciate the sunsets whenever they come across one. 

A big thank you to Hassan, who has done a great job supporting the fellas with kickboxing this term. The boys have really enjoyed getting involved and giving it a go.

Looking Out for Each Other

One of the highlights this term has been seeing the fellas show real care for one another. They have been checking in on each other, supporting each other and showing that sense of looking after their mates.

They also came together to support CC at his grand final, bringing plenty of energy and enthusiasm and showing what it means to get behind one of their own.

Stepping Up

Dwayne has really stepped up this term. We have seen extra effort with his chores, as well as him supporting and encouraging a Year 7 student, by helping with chores after dinner.

Denzel has  been a great help in the kitchen, cooking dinner twice this term. His steak, eggs and chips were definitely enjoyed by everyone! 

Celebrating Achievements

A big congratulations to T.T, who was awarded Most Valuable Player and finished third overall player for his RJFC team. A fantastic achievement. Jordan also winning an award for best art work on the night for our "Celebration of the Arts" it was a great night with many wonderful pieces of worked on display from all our students.

A Proud End to Term

All in all, our fellas have really settled into Buarth Gurru this term and have shown great maturity, care and responsibility.

It has been great to see them supporting one another, getting involved in activities and taking more ownership of their routines.

Well done, fellas — you have given us plenty to be proud of this term!

Wishing all our families a safe and happy break. We look forward to seeing everyone back for Term 4.

Take care,

The Buarth Gurru Team
