Report from Assistant Principal Years Yr 7/8

Alice Paget

Dear Westall SC community,

Well, Term 3 has flown by and we are just starting to see some lovely Spring weather creeping in, just in time for the holiday period.

I am pleased to announce we have 80 students enrolling into Year 7 for 2026. We commence their Transition over Term 4 and I look forward to welcoming them to Westall during our Orientation Day and Welcome Night next term.

Upcoming events in Term 4:

Year 7 Welcome Night (Year 7s of 2026): We are looking forward to welcoming our new Year 7s at our Welcome Night on Tuesday 18th November 2025, from 6.00pm. This is an opportunity to find out more information regarding your child or young person’s transition to Westall SC, including booklists, uniform, key contacts ect.
Year 7 Orientation Day (Year 7s of 2026) will take place on the 9th December, 2025. I would like to extend a warm welcome to the new students and parents of the College and we look forward to making the transition for your son, daughter or young person a positive and supportive experience.

Headstart 2025

The Headstart Program at Westall is the point in the academic year where we shift focus from the current year to next year. It provides students with an opportunity to commence new subjects for 2026 and get a small taste of what they will look like.

Please keep in mind the following dates:

Week	Dates	Headstart	Year Levels
9	1/12-5/12	2026 classes	Current Year 7-11
10	8/12-12/12	2026 classes	Current Year 7-9
11	15/12-17/12	Personal development /Activities	Current Year 7-9

Last day of school for Year 10s and Year 11s is the 5th December 2025.
Last day of school for Year 7s-Year 9s is the 17th December 2025, however academic classes will finish on the 12th December, followed by 3 days of activities.

I hope you have a wonderful break and look forward to what will be a jam-packed Term 4!

Until next time, take care and look after yourselves.
