Welcome to Edition 7!

What a busy and exciting start to the term it has been for our Year 9 and 10 students! There are many exciting activities and opportunities taking place across the school, with plenty more still to come.

It has been wonderful to see our Year 9 and 10 students settling into their learning, remaining focused, and actively engaging in their classwork. Many students have also been doing an exceptional job of following our entry and exit routines, demonstrating responsibility and setting a positive example for the wider school community.

Changes to the Year 9 and 10 Team

Towards the end of Semester 2, Neil McMorran commenced a new role at Melba College. We would like to congratulate Neil on his appointment as Assistant Principal – Wellbeing and Engagement. In this role, Neil will continue to support our Year 9 and Year 10 students while also leading wellbeing and engagement initiatives across the entire school.

We would also like to welcome our new Year Level Leaders. Caleb Sinn has joined the Middle School team as the Year 9 Year Level Leader, and Lucas Trofimiuk has taken on the role of Year 10 Year Level Leader. We are excited to have Caleb and Lucas supporting our students and families and look forward to the positive impact they will have throughout the year.

Key Focus Areas:

• Entry and exit routines
• Students remaining in the classroom during lessons
• Students only leaving for toilet breaks, one at a time and with their diary
• Respectful behaviour and language
• Correct school uniform
• Building positive connections with students
• Consistent implementation of the Mobile Phone Policy
