Year 7/8 News
Assistant Principals News
What a busy month it has been at CESC! I have really enjoyed getting to know more of our students, staff, families and wider community since I commenced early Term 3.
I am so very proud of how hard our students are working and the dedication they have shown to their learning across many areas. Of particular note, the Year 8 Science Expo was extremely impressive, demonstrating the learning that students had been participating in this term. Year 7 students continue to display strong learning growth as demonstrated in the pre and post test maths results but also throughout a variety of lessons where they are participating in a range of activities. It was fabulous to see our students actively engaged in learning tasks that rely on a little bit of competition but also provide opportunities for recall of knowledge, particularly demonstrated through Kahoot challenges. The teachers spend an enormous amount of time ensuring lessons are directed at student point of need but also providing engaging and well thought out activities.
Of recent times we have been having a uniform ‘blitz’ and I am happy to say that the Year 7 and 8 students have overall demonstrated a high level of respect and adherence to our Uniform Policy. Please remember, no socks with logos and wear only white socks!
R U OK? Day was on last week and if the students didn’t mention it, they all received a lovely, personalised note from their Home Group Teachers detailing the gratitude they have for the students in their class. These positive comments assist in extending the connection between staff and students and assist students to understand their worth and the positive impact they have on a daily basis here at school.
Ahead we have lots of activities planned for Term 4 and I am looking forward to working with each and every student throughout the remainder of this year. Have a safe and happy Term 3 break.

Science Expo
On the 12th of September the Year 8 students held their Science Expo. This was a brilliant opportunity for them to inform our school community about the problems we may encounter in the future if we don’t make changes in how we live. They had been learning about global warming, climate change and renewable energy sources so the expo was their moment to present their ideas on how we can stop our drastic climate change. Thank you to everyone who attended the expo, the students and teachers involved were very grateful and overall excited about the outcome of the event.
