Year 7 News
It has been a busy wind up to the end of Term 2 down in Junior School.
Over the last few weeks, Year 7 students have been focussing on how they can practice EMPATHY successfully during their Home Group activities.
Last week, Home Groups were asked to complete a poster on what Empathy is and how we can practice it at school and at home.
Here are a couple of standout posters;
Since this, students have been focusing on how random acts of KINDNESS can brighten up someone’s day.

The Year 7 and 8 boys had a practice football game last week during lunchtime to prepare both teams for the next rounds.
There was plenty of support shown by the rest of the school with students from all the other sub schools coming down to the oval to watch and cheer.

As part of our Health and Wellbeing Program for students, we have introduced a full day that will be dedicated to working with our students on many aspects of their own health and wellbeing.
The program involves a guest speaker from The Resilience Project who will talk to students about the importance of being resilient and therefore able to 'bounce back' from difficult situations.
There will also be a range of other activities and opportunities for small group discussion on topics such as: friendships, dealing with conflict, relaxation and information on nutrition.
