JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS

Bec Durran

Year 8 Coordinator

Welcome back to term 2 Year 7 & 8 students. We hope you had a safe and restful break and have returned to school ready for the second half of Semester 1.

A few reminders from the Year 7 and 8 YLCs

• Uniform is a big focus. If students are in correct uniform from the beginning of the day, they will have positive interactions with their Homeroom teachers setting up a successful day
• If students are late, they need to bring a note from a parent/guardian with a reason in their diary. If a note cannot be written in the morning, please phone the attendance line and leave a voice message.
• Ipads need to be charged and ready for every lesson as well as taking the correct equipment to each class.
