Iron Form Day 

Sydenham Iron Form day is a highly anticipated event for year 7s, pricing them with a chance to engage in some healthy competition between home groups and teams. The day was filled with fun activities and events that brought out the best in our students, such as awesome dancing and performing, as well as creative displays of mascots and mottos. The atmosphere of the day was lovely and energetic, with students cheering on their peers and getting involved in all the action! This year, Paul Singhs awesome home-group, 7H2, we're the overall winners of the day, who showed great teamwork and sportsman ship! 

It was a fantastic day that really showcased the talent, creativity and spirit of the year 7s this year.

The Premiers’ Reading Challenge has begun!

It is not a competition; but a personal challenge to read a set number of books by 8 September 2023. It is recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development.

All students who complete the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and get to join in the Pizza Party with the other students who have completed the challenge at your campus!

What you can read:

Challenge books – the lists are found on the PRC website (https://vprc.eduweb.vic.gov.au/home). The rest can be any book you choose.
