JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS

Mr Ryan Mills

Year 7 Assistant Coordinator 

Term four for the Year 7s will see lots of excursions and activities organised for the students to round off an eventful first year of high school. The excursion to the Melbourne Zoo on December 8 is a great day and enjoyed by everyone who attends each year. There are limited places and with such a large group of Year 7s this year, attendance will be decided on behaviour throughout the term and how quickly students return their permission forms.

The last week of term North Geelong will be holding activities week for the students. There are many activities students will get to choose from which are held both as excursions and also internal activities at school. Students will have an opportunity to sign up for the activities they wish to participate in, with limited numbers the places for activities will be awarded on a ‘first in-best dressed’ arrangement. Information about particular activities will be provided at a later date.

Last week saw the Year 7 and Year 11 students participate in an ‘Amazing Race’ around the school. It was designed to create positive relationships between students in the junior and senior schools and further establish our strong community feel as a college. Forty teams made from a mix of students competed against each other in a range of small tasks and riddles, which was followed by a barbeque supplied for all participants. It was great to see the teamwork between the junior and senior students and see new friendships forming.
