Year 8 students have been involved in a range of activities this term, with plenty of hands-on learning during class as well as engaging in extra-curricular opportunities. Students have demonstrated a great willingness to have a go and work with others to strengthen our bond as a year group.

YEAR 8 SPORT - SKIPPING

Year 8 students have been rotating activities for sport this term. This group explored ‘Body Mechanics’, a combination of functional movement, dance, cardio fitness & strength training. Students smashed out their skipping warm up, focusing on elevation & timing, skills they can integrate into dance combos!

YEAR 8 TECHNOLOGY MANDATORY - WORKING ON AG FARM

Students in our Year 8 TM class have been making some valuable contributions to our Ag Farm.

Despite this week's sudden transition to remote learning, teachers continue to support students and encourage you to contact them if you require help. Please remember to take time to look after yourself, taking some time to exercise and relax each day. Stay safe and I hope to see you all again soon!
