Junior School Report

The Junior Sub School is a constant buzz again with a lot of events happening. Term 4 is a busy time of the year and students have been working hard to get their best results and to complete assessments for reports. Staff have completed progress reports for students and Coordinators are catching up with students who need extra assistance in submitting work prior to final reports.

Year 7 classes have been on class walks to St Albans to study the commercial shopping centre and learn about civics.

End of Year Activities are being planned for the final week with Year 7 and 8 participating in organised activities at school. We look forward to seeing all students at school in the last week of term.

Year 8 Camps are still in progress and students are having a wonderful time with their classes at Strathbogie where they are canoeing, having BBQ’s, making pizza dinners, visiting Polly McQuinn Waterfalls, swimming, visiting a farm, going for night walks and seeing the wildlife at night and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

8K Camp Report

Strathbogie Camp 2019

At this year’s Strathbogie camp, we participated in a handful of activities. On the first day, we had a slight stop at a town near the camp grounds to eat fish and chips. After another hour or so on the bus, we finally arrived. When we got there, we had a small talk with Roz, unpacked our bags and rested a few hours before dinner. On the second day, we did activities such as archery and water sports. We had the most fun, and we were a tad jealous of Mr. St Pierre for getting two badges from archery. We also had the most enjoyable time during water sports. We tried paddle boating, kayaking and canoeing and even fell over many times! Considering the fact that this was our last camp, we had a bittersweet moment on the last day, especially when saying goodbye to Roz. On behalf of 8K, we would like to thank Roz for providing us with the tastiest food and making our camp extra fun. We hope to see you again and we hope you don’t miss us too much! We would also like to thank our amazing teachers Mr. St Pierre, Miss Main and Miss Williams for organising this camp! A special thank you to Miss Williams for waking up early and helping us make the food!

The Year 8 Graduation Dance will be held on Tuesday 17 December from 4.00- 6.00pm at the school. Students will be dismissed at 12.40pm on the day to go home and get prepared for the event then return at 4.00 pm. Consent may be given online through Compass. Students will receive a ticket to attend and must present tickets on the evening for entry.

Pizza and other refreshments will be provided. Cost for drinks is $2 per soft drink or water. Students may bring their own water but no other drinks will be permitted to be brought in. Invitations will be sent out with students later in the term and we are looking forward to seeing them all dressed up.

Tuesday 10 December, our transition students from Grade 6 will attend St Albans for Orientation and will experience a day with us attending classes and meeting some of their teachers. We look forward to meeting our new students.

Please inform the Sub School if your child will be moving to another school in the New Year.

If you have concerns about your child’s progress, please contact the relevant Coordinator and if your child is going on vacation prior to the end of the year the coordinator must be informed. Please ensure your child returns to school by the first day in 2020. Please call the coordinators if you have any questions on 9366 2555.
