As we enter the final term of Year 7, I’m so proud of how far our students have come. This is a crucial time to maintain the high standards we’ve set, particularly around organisation. It is expected that all students arrive at each lesson with their diaries, laptops, and pencil cases (fully equipped - some have been a bit empty lately!). We’ve been having discussions in morning PALS to reinforce these habits, and your support at home would be greatly appreciated. Please remind your child of the importance of being organised and ready for learning.

Additionally, we ask for your help in maintaining uniform and behaviour standards. These expectations ensure that students continue to present themselves well and contribute positively to the school community.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 SRC! 

A big congratulations to our newly elected SRC representatives for 2025! These students were selected by their peers, a true honour. I am looking forward to working closely with this talented group on projects and events that will enhance our year group and the broader school community.

UPCOMING EVENTS 

YEAR 7 REFLECTION DAY 

Later this term, students will take part in the Year 7 Reflection Day. This day provides an opportunity for the year group to connect and reflect on their spirituality. It’s always an engaging and meaningful day, and participation is compulsory. More details will be provided soon.

YEAR 7 TALENT SHOW

In Week 6, we’ll be hosting the Year 7 Talent Show! This will be a great chance for our creative students to showcase their talents. We’ve had plenty of nominations, and I’m excited to see the performances — perhaps some teachers will even join in!

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT YEAR:

Looking ahead to next year, PALS classes will stay the same to maintain the strong relationships and support that students have developed with their teachers. However, other classes will be reshuffled. Class placements are carefully considered, taking into account academic performance, behaviour, wellbeing, and each student’s goals. We take great care in ensuring each student is placed where they can thrive. 

WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU

Lastly, I would like to sincerely thank all Year 7 families for your ongoing support throughout this year. It has been a true joy to work alongside you and get to know the incredible students in this year group! If you have any concerns as we move into the final term, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the relevant teacher or coordinator for that subject or area. If you’re ever unsure of who to contact, your child's PALS Teacher is always a great place to start. We are here to help.
