Welcome back to term 2.  It has been amazing to watch our students really delve into their semester 1 electives and put the skills they have learnt in term 1 in to action. Firstly we would like to welcome Jessila Reddy and Benny Laird to the 7-9 sub-school.

 

Our students in Café Culture are practicing theirs coffee making skills and are now serving our staff coffee’s and hot chocolate. The goal is to begin serving families before school very soon! Our photography elective students have now become our official photographers for our college events. Keep a look out for their amazing work throughout this newsletter.

 

This term we have our 7-9 Athletics Carnival taking place on 1st June.  We are expecting all students to attend this event. Ms Siketa, Mr Mudford and Ms Fsadni have organized a great day along and it going to be a great day for our Sub School.

 

Our Year 8 Camp is now on COMPASS.  If you are intending on going can I please ask families to complete the consent form online so we have a clear idea of student numbers. The Camp is located at Falls Creek and is an amazing opportunity for our students to build new relationships, try new things and build their resilience.

 

Our students will also begin their preparation for semester 1 exams. This semester will will conduct exams for English and Maths. The following time allocation has been set for each year level:

Students will have the opportunity to prep for the exams with their teachers.  Following the completion of the exams, the staff will conference with the students individually to support them moving forward with their learning.
