Middle Years 

Student Leaders - Middle Years Captains

There has been a lot going on and even more to look forward to in Middle Years this year. The year 7s are beginning to settle more into high school and feel more comfortable and confident, so far they have attended the year seven orientation camp at Camp Rumbug and experienced their first swimming carnival. Some highlights they have to look forward to include: year 7 bike education, free dress days, the year 7 viewing of the 2020 production and kindness projects.

Year 7 Reflection

I’m really looking forward to term 2 because we start taking classes more seriously. For example, in history, we have not gotten into it too much yet, so it will be nice to learn some more things. I’m also looking forward to knowing more about the school because I get lost all of the time! At the moment I’m enjoying (still) meeting new friends and making friendships. I also love making connections with some of my teachers and learning more about them. I really enjoy some classes like English, Maths, Science, Spanish and History.

The year 8s have a really exciting week coming up in week eight of this term. They will be attending a challenge week, where they will get to experience different activities that challenge them and their classmates. A couple of the activities they will be attending include, raft building, escape room, tree surfing, bike riding and paddle boarding. The year 8s will also begin their “Personal Best Projects” which will commence in term 2.

Year 8 Reflection

Year 8 so far has been fun in the ways that we have new subjects such as Materials Tech, Systems Tech, Visual Communications and Drama. Some fun things have been getting to know our new classes and teachers but everyone is buzzing about our year 8 challenge week next week.

Year 9s have also been very busy this year with starting their new electives. That is just one aspect of the exciting things they have to look forward to like city experience in term 3, the challenge camps and elective excursions, like the viewing of ‘Come from Away’ for Drama, as well as exploring pathways and careers for the future.

Year 9 Reflection

Year 9 has been a great experience and has given us the opportunity to explore subjects of our choice. In our electives, we work with other new people who have also chosen this class, meaning that they have some actual interest in learning. It’s a great way to work with other people outside our homegroup. It’s also a great way to see what subjects we like in preparation for going into Later Years.

In middle years as a whole, it has been an exciting year so far and we all can't wait for all the different things happening soon for all year levels including cross country, production, inter-school sports and different clubs.
