Year 7's First Week

Welcome

Undoubtedly, starting in a new school can be challenging and worrisome, let alone starting Year 7 in a big high school. Despite this, it can be said that Year 7 PATHFINDERS have transitioned well to Killara High School with a positive attitude. As students first stepped foot into the school on Day 1, they were feeling excited and determined towards commencing their new chapter of their schooling life. They were keen to explore the various facilities, including the Lion Library, where they were actively reading and borrowing books from day one. 

The new students were welcomed with open arms into our school community as they were introduced to their Home Group teachers, classroom teachers, as well as other students from the school. The students engaged well with other students from their cohort, as well as with other members of the school community. They were also keen participants in their various lessons, as evident from the various discussions heard around the school.

Year 7 students had the following to say:

“The teachers are very welcoming and understanding. Loads of people want to be your friend” - Maia K.

“I enjoy going to Art class. It allows me to create abstract art and think outside the square.” - Lucinda M.

“I really enjoyed the swimming carnival. It was very organised.” - Jack M.

The annual school Swimming Carnival was a major success, as Year 7 students excitedly dived into the pool to compete as well as to have a casual swim. They demonstrated their exceptional swimming talents, as well as their team work skills both in the House relays or cheering other members from their Houses in the grandstands.

We would like to congratulate Year 7 in their efforts to transition from primary to high school. We are very proud of each and every student, as they welcomed high school life with both diligence and enthusiasm. We are very excited to see what is to come from the cohort, and will be supporting them along their journey with many adventures to come.
