I was looking at some old files on my computer and found some photos of the students from Year 7 camp - I was blown away by how young the students looked and how much they have grown! It reminded me that with this growth and maturity comes greater expectations. 

So at our year meeting, I explained to the students that as they start moving towards the senior years in their schooling the expectations placed upon them as role models for junior years increases, as does the expectations of their teachers in how they take ownership of their learning. So when I visited some elective classes, I was excited to see the classrooms buzzing with enthusiasm as the students actively engaged with the subject matter.  These elective classes offer invaluable opportunities for our students to explore their interests, expand their horizons, and develop essential skills beyond the traditional curriculum.

SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Year 9 were particularly outstanding in their behaviour at school and this was recognised at their year assembly.  It was an uplifting and relaxed day for all and we are exceptionally proud of Year 9 and their positive behaviours on this day.

SPORT

Year 9 have been praised for their active involvement in Sport so far this term and have been involved in Sport offsite from school and school based competitions.  Students have formed their own friendship based groups and have responded positively in this environment
