Year 8 News

It has been a terrific start to the Term with student progress conferences taking place last week. Teachers enjoy meeting parents and sharing feedback to better position students reach their full potential for the second half of the semester. 

Junior School students attended the ANZAC Day assembly this week to better understand the significance of the events commemorated on ANZAC Day. Students are reminded to reflect on these events on the  pupil free day 25th of April, ANZAC DAY. 

Geography excursions have given students the opportunity to complete fieldwork visiting Blackburn Lake Sanctuary and Blackburn Station Precinct. Students investigated various elements of the natural and human environments, looking at the flora, fauna and features of the land. Observations further investigated in the classroom to create an assessed piece of work.  

A reminder to all year 8 students to get involved in round robin sport taking place Sport Friday 31st May. Sign up sheets are available outside the sport office. 

Year 8 students are now completing Wombles duty and taking responsibility for the Vermont Secondary College community and facilities. 

Please continue to approach Term 2 with the same positive attitude and enthusiasm for learning displayed in Term 1.
