Year Seven Courtyard

On Friday 5th of June at lunchtime, some Year 7 students who attended school during Remote Learning (Isha Jain 7C1, Estelle Watkins 7C1, Orla Brown Morrison 7R2 and Daisy Daniels 7L3) got the honour to announce and officially open the Year Seven Courtyard!

We were walking quietly along the corridor. Estelle was revising her fabulous speech with Miss Miller. We were finally walking down the wooden stairs where we saw all the teachers gathering around us. 

We went down to the new Year 7 Courtyard and Ms Roberston passed us a pair of gold scissors. The teachers took a photo and then Isha, Daisy and Orla cut the ribbon. We all ran through the cut ribbon because we were so excited. We took some nice photos of us sitting on the benches and had running races. We were all fighting over the ribbon but we cut it into smaller pieces so we all got to keep some to remember the day.

Estelle had the privilege of announcing the opening of the courtyard. She wrote a small speech before Isha, Daisy and Orla cut the ribbon. Once we cut the ribbon, we all walked into the area and started exploring. We weren’t really sure if Year 7’s would even use this area! But to our surprise, all the Year 7’s sit there now. It’s an extra safe space that we have to ourselves. We’re really thankful for the area.

On the first day back at recess there was almost no one there but by lunch there were so many year sevens. Now the year seven courtyard is so popular with students full with chatter and giggles. We all love the new year 7 courtyard.
