Year 7 News

Term 3 is now in full swing, with students working hard to complete learning tasks and assessments. We remind students to focus on doing the basics well to give themselves the best possible chance of success.These basics include:

• Arriving on time and being prepared for class

• Using their diary when leaving the classroom

• Being respectful and kind learners in all settings

Subject Selection

Last week, students attended Subject Selection Day — an exciting opportunity to reflect on the subjects they’ve enjoyed this year and to consider what they might like to study next year.

School Values

Our Year 7 students have demonstrated our school values of Care and Character by welcoming visiting Year 6 classes to the school. These visits took place on the 7th, 12th and 14th of August.

Thank you to all parents and carers who kept their Year 7 child home on their allocated day to allow us to welcome our future students.

In assembly this week we celebrated Zav Lang, Jaydah Piera and Phoenix Meek for their efforts in upholding the school values. 

Congratulations to these three!

School Production

Many of our Year 7 students are involved in this year’s school production, “13: The Musical.” The production will run from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th August 2025 at Horsham Town Hall.

We wish all the performers and backstage crew the very best as they prepare to entertain the school and wider community.

Uniform

As the cooler weather continues, it’s important that students are dressed in warm, school-appropriate clothing.If your child is out of uniform for any reason, please provide a note and send it with your child to the Year 7 office. A uniform pass will be issued for the day.

Swimming

This term, Year 7 students will participate in a swimming unit during their PE lessons. Please ensure that permission forms are returned so students can attend.All swimming levels are supported in the program, both in and out of the pool. If you have any concerns or questions, please speak with your child’s PE teacher.
