M: I love music, art, PE and maths. Music is fun and I love singing!

What are your plans for the school holidays?

S: My plans are to wait for Christmas and on Christmas Eve I won’t sleep….I will be too excited! I am going to catch up with my friend Kaitlin and go to the movies. I will probably go to Funfields too. I usually go with my family on the Christmas holidays.

M: I will be going to the beach with my baba (grandmother). I like collecting sea shells. We don’t celebrate Christmas because we are Turkish. I will just relax and take it easy.

What year level are you going in to next year? How are you feeling about 2019?

End of year

Students are gearing up for the end of year class excursions and celebrations. These have well and truly be earned by the teachers, ES, trainees and students. They have worked hard all year across all curriculum areas and extracurricular activities. Classes are off to a range of venues; such as Luna Park, Funfields or Healesville Sanctuary. Students voted on their location for their excursion and I am sure they will have a lot of fun! We look forward to hearing the stories and seeing the photos. Well done to all of the Secondary 7/8 team for a wonderful year!

Some students have been writing some lovely letters to their friends from this year. These two were written by Noah S and Jai B in SCO.
