Stage 4

Stage 4 have had a wonderful start to the year. We welcome some new faces into our Year 7 cohort and students are to be congratulated on how well they have settled into their new environment. Students have been busily completing assessment tasks for their teachers and we hope to have our Maths and English groups up and running next week. Mandatory Subjects will also be starting next week, make sure to ask them how their lessons went with their specialist teachers: Mrs Callaway - Mandatory Technology, Mrs Mortimer – Science and Mrs Sharpe – Geography.

Class 16 have had a great start back at school for 2023. We have been learning about each other & discovered that we have similar interests. We have also learnt about the different Zones of Regulation & what we can do when we feel heightened &/or sad. We had Mrs Lloyd visit us & show us some new IT skills that we are excited to start using in class activities.

Stage 5

Stage 5 have hit the ground running this year, with lots of exciting learning happening in all classrooms. Curiosity Clubs kicked off this week with students exploring either Design and Technology, International Studies, iStem or Physical Activity or Sports Studies (PASS). We look forward to sharing some of their awesome projects with you in the coming weeks.

Introducing Class 8

Class 8 this year is being taught by Ms Lyons and supported by Miss Georgie. The year 10 group of students include Alex, Bodhi, Evelyn, Leilani. Sonja, Sophie and Tyler.

They have been working on some amazing creative writing tasks as part of their English studies. They were challenged to write a text of their choice using words from their spelling test. Alex’s narrative was inspired by the song ‘Greatest Show Unearthed’ and explores the adventures of supernatural carnival. Tyler has tapped into his love of music and has written a song ‘Forest Of Your Fairytale’.

The class is also running a ‘Behind The News’ trivia, where they score points for answering questions based on this weeks hot news topics. The odds are in Tyler’s favour for a win this week.

Stage 6

Welcome back to all the stage 6 students. Year 11 students have been excited to join the stage 6 cohort as a senior student at Anson Street School. Over the past 2 weeks students have enjoyed getting to know their new teachers and staff across the stage, catch up with their friends and explore the stage 6 space and the Senior Space. Students have enjoyed playing table tennis, lawn games, cards games, listening to music, dancing and chatting with friends in the Senior Space each lunch break. Stage 6 students have been busy in classroom following their new timetable and routines, enjoying sport this week and visiting the farm.

Stage 6 students attended the Leaders Induction Assembly on Tuesday and all displayed great enthusiasm and support for their peers receiving badges.

Work experience and TAFE start back next week (week 4) for students in year 11 and 12.

What a great start to 2023.

Welcome back to your returning students and a huge welcome to our new students on the Campus. All are settling in well to the routine of school.

This term we have 4 classes on the Campus:

Class 17 – Ms Rebecca Edwards and Ms Vicki Hill

Class 19 - Mrs Julianne Hargraves and Mrs Suzie Grant/Ms Mel Konjetic

Class 20 – Mr Hugh Rasmussen and Ms Krissie Lee Cartwright

Class 21 – Mrs Kate Griffen and Ms Bobbie-Joe Broome

A huge welcome to Ms Bek Regan who joins our team every Wednesday for Relief from Face to Face (RFF).

We have already seen some great connections amongst our students as well as some high-quality learning. Classes 17 and 19 have dived straight into the novel “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” and Class 21 is investigating forces in Science – already solving the mystery of magnets.

The gardens and playground are beautiful and we are enjoying the sunshine during break times.

Some great teamwork, encouragement, and participation were on display this week as we started Functional Fitness for Sport this week.

We are looking forward to a great term filled with learning, laughter, kindness, and fun!
