Year 7 News

High Flyers

The 2016 High Flyer Programme is based on the 18 Qualities of an LNPS Graduate.  Students are encouraged and supported to take charge of their own learning and the High Flyer Award is designed for Year Sevens to develop as powerful learners by providing evidence of their attributes, learning and achievements.

The students will collate and present evidence of possessing these 18 Graduate Qualities.  Students have received their Term One booklet  along with their folder in which to store their evidence. During the coming weeks, students will be supported as they learn how to document their achievements.

Year Seven Jumper

Students are in the process of designing the 2016 Year 7 jumper.  Once the designs have been finalised, students will vote on the preferred design.  A note will be sent home in the coming weeks with the details regarding sizing, payment and the process for ordering. Not only is the Year 7 jumper a special item that can be worn to school, but also a souvenir of the students' final year of primary school.

Graduate Speeches

Year 7 students are provided with the opportunity  of sharing at school assemblies their primary school experiences, contributions , favourite memories and advice through their Year 7 Graduate speech. Students will be given advanced notice of the assembly they will be presenting at to provide any family members, who may wish to attend, some prior warning. With adequate notice, we are able to change dates to suit family preferences.

Year 8 Transition

Families have an important decision to make regarding which secondary school they would like their children to attend in 2017. Many local high schools will hold Open Days this term and for those of you yet to make a decision about secondary schooling, we highly recommend you attend some of these. It is important that you inform yourselves of what schools have to offer rather than base decisions on heresay or reputation.

If your child is applying through a specialist program, please give staff advanced notice of any references or documentation required to support the  application.

At a later stage, you will receive a package with information regarding the Transition process and steps you willl need to take to enrol your child in High School. In the meantime, keep an eye out for Open Day advertisements in the newsletter.
