Junior School News
It is hard to believe we are halfway through Term 4! We are proud of how far our students have advanced this year, both academically and socially. All of our students have achieved something they can be proud of.
Year 8 students are looking forward to finishing the year with their Anglesea Camp in the second last week of the term.
Year 7 students ready to begin their Year 8 transition, as we begin to welcome our new Year 7 students in their upcoming Orientation Day.
We look forward to finishing the year by celebrating our Junior School students at the End of Year Awards Assembly on Thursday 21 December.
This term students have been working on their 'Gratitude Journal'. Over the past fortnight students have been asked to answer 3 simple questions. Below each question is a number of responses we received from the Year 7 cohort.
1. What has made you smile this past week?
- “My dog ”
- “My family”
- “Riding my motorbike”
- “Cricket”
- “Netball”
- “The sunshine”
2. What is something school related that you are grateful for this week!

- “My teachers, because I know they will always help me when I need questions answered.”
- “Being in the sunshine with my friends”
- “Talking and hanging out with my friends”
3. What is something you are grateful for outside of school this week?
- “My friends and family”
- “My pets”
- “Netflix”
- “My bed and pillow”
- “Pizza!”
Breakfast Club
Over the course of the year, a local community group has come into the school on Friday mornings (before school) and offered a space for students to come and gather with one another to finish the week off on a positive note (photo above). The morning is organised through our Student Wellbeing team. During this time, students are encouraged to have some breakfast which is provided, sit down and talk with their friends and play some of the board games that are on offer. The students of junior school have jumped at this opportunity throughout the year and look forward to it each Friday morning.
