Junior School News

Welcome!

A huge welcome to our new Year 7 students and a big welcome back to our Year 8 girls. We hope they had a great holiday and are ready for a productive year! We also extend a very warm welcome to all new Year 8 students. We hope you settle in quickly and make lots of new friends. It was fantastic to see so many parents attend the School Assembly on the first day and watch the school welcome the Year 7 cohort into the gym.

Year 7 Camp – Arrabri Lodge

All Year 7 students will be attending a camp at Arrabri Lodge in Warburton East in the week of 25 February. 7A, D & F girls will attend on Monday 25 February to Wednesday 27 February and 7B, C, E & G will attend on Wednesday 27 February to Friday 29 February.

Year 8 Parent Information Evening – Elevate Education

All Year 8 parents recently received an email inviting them to attend an information session on Wednesday 20 February 6.30pm to 7.30pm on the topics of ‘Time management.’

The Year 8 students will be attending a session on time management run by Elevate Education on Friday 15 February in period 4. These skills will stand them in good stead for all years and we encourage the girls to practise them so that they become more effective learners. We would love you to hear the information so that you can encourage your daughter to use those skills at home when studying.

The evening will take place in the Lecture Theatre. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Director, Junior School
