Junior School Report
It has been a busy time of the year in Junior School and students have been working hard to get their best results and to complete assessments for reports. Junior School students are involved in lots of activities around the school and students have had a wonderful year in the Junior School and have also experienced many outings including the State Library and the Melbourne Zoo. The Year 7 Students have also been involved in a Case Study with the State Library this year.
All Year 8 classes have also attended the Strathbogie camp this term and students have and a lovely time with their peers and teachers, canoeing¸ swimming and preparing their evening meals. It has been a great way for them to complete their time in Junior School.
End of year activities
End of Year Activities are planned for Year 7 and Year 8 to Fun Fields on Tuesday, 19 December. Please ensure your child has water, hat, sunscreen and lunch for the day. Students not attending are required at school for the day.
Year 8 graduation dance
The Year 8 Graduation Dance will be held on Wednesday, 20 December from 3:30pm to 5:30pm at the school. Students will be dismissed at 12.40 to go home and get prepared then return at 3:30.
Pizza and other refreshments will be provided. Drinks will be available for purchase on the evening for $2. We look forward to seeing our Year 8’s all dressed up to celebrate their final Year in Junior School.
End of year awards and concert
The End of Year Awards and Concert are on Thursday, 21 December. We have numerous awards to present to students for their wonderful Academic and Citizenship Achievements. Students are required to attend these events in full school uniform. The concert will be an exciting way to end the busy year with students and staff performing for everyone.
Dates for next year
- Year 7 starts on 30 January 2018
- Year 8 starts on 31 January 2018
We are looking forward to a great start to 2018. If students have everything they require for the first day of school, it makes for a much smoother start for them. Please make sure that all books have been purchased and everything is labelled. It is also a good idea to cover the expensive text books to improve their resale value. Please ensure you have a lock on the first day of the year and make sure that all uniform items including PE uniform are named.
If your child is going overseas they must return to school by the first day in 2018. Please let the office know if you are away. Please call the coordinators if you have any questions on 9366 4088.
