Defence Mentor News

What’s been happening in Defence Club?

Our large floor games have encouraged students to join in, work together and enjoy some friendly competition.

The Defence Café has also been a popular gathering place! Students enjoyed iced chocolates topped with ice cream and wafers, with a fantastic turnout from our Defence students and their plus ones.

This week, four new student helpers stepped into leadership roles, setting up, welcoming students and serving refreshments. It was lovely to see their confidence and teamwork as they helped create a welcoming space for everyone.

There has been plenty of conversation, laughter and connection, alongside discussions about upcoming postings and the new places some families will soon call home.

Upcoming postings and farewell celebrations

As posting season approaches, we would love the opportunity to celebrate our departing students and give their friends a chance to say goodbye.

Please let both the school and me know as soon as you receive confirmation of a posting or planned move, including your child’s expected last day at Seymour College. Early notice helps us organise posting-out celebrations and provide support as students prepare for their next chapter.

Moving can bring both excitement and uncertainty. Please reach out if your child would benefit from a check-in or some extra support during this time.

Please update your postal address

If you have recently moved or will be moving soon, please ensure the school office has your current residential and postal addresses. This helps school correspondence and any postal items reach your family at the correct address.

Please also advise the school of any changes to your phone number or email address so we can stay connected.

Thank you for your ongoing support. It is a pleasure to see our students building friendships, supporting one another and making Defence Club such a welcoming community.
