Parents are encouraged to attend the event from 10 am to 1.30 pm.
Year 9 Captains
Year 9 have had a fantastic start to the year. We have covered some new things but there are still lots more opportunities to come later in 2018.
Transitioning up to Middle School has been a new and exciting experience for all of us. Moving into Year 9 means we had to pick our first electives, which was scary. Picking your electives means you get to choose the subjects you enjoy and are passionate about. Getting introduced to all new classes with all new teachers. We also had an opportunity to change the subjects to suit us best.
Throughout this week, the students have attended a Code of Conduct session. Now every student should know the rules and expectations and strive for excellence in everything they do.
In 2018 there will be plenty of opportunities to compete in different sporting events. One upcoming event is the swimming carnival, where everyone will have the chance to show off their swimming, bombing and tug of war skills.Zac Hoiles and Sophie Mastaing
