Year 7 News

On behalf of the Year 7 Team we would like to thank the many families that took part in the Subject Selection Day. Aside from the benefits of finalising subject choices for 2024, it was a valuable opportunity for homeroom teachers to interact with students and parents to discuss how things are going for the students in their classes. If you were unable to attend the subject selection day, it is important that your child complete their subject selection paperwork with Mrs McKenry at the Yr 7 Office.

It is important during this cooler weather that students are wearing suitably warm clothing. Should your child be out of uniform, please let the Year 7 office know by sending a note with your child - we will then issue them with a uniform pass. Families who need support with the purchase of Horsham College uniform should contact Year level coordinators directly to discuss further.

A number of our Year 7 students are involved in this year’s school production, “Cinderella”. We would like to wish all the students who are involved as performers or backstage crew all the very best as they prepare to entertain the school and wider community.

Locker reminders 

We are noticing an increase in lockers being left unlocked, along with an increase of rubbish and food scraps in the area. It is students responsibility to look after their lockers and keep them locked to protect their belongings. We would like our Yr 7 students to take more pride in this area and treat this area with greater respect. We have also noticed an increase in students using phones during recess/lunchtime or even having them on them in class. Students are reminded that phones MUST remain in their lockers during school hours and if caught using their phone or having their phone on them will result in an after school detention.

In the coming weeks term 3 interim reports will be released. This is a great opportunity for students to sit down with their parents/guardians and reflect on how they are going across their subjects and set some goals moving forward into term 4. Parent Teacher interviews will be held on Wednesday the 6th of September, so keep an eye out for details in the coming weeks with how to book appointments with your child’s teachers.
