It was amazing to see so many parents at our Parent Information Night on Tuesday. Your engagement and support are invaluable as we continue to work together to ensure a smooth transition for our Year 7 students. PALS teachers will be sending out emails introducing themselves and will also provide a copy of the presentation that was shared on the night.

As we approach the end of our first term together, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible start our Year 7 students have had. Transitioning into high school is a significant milestone, and I am so proud of the way our students have embraced this new chapter with enthusiasm, resilience, and a strong sense of community.

One of the standout moments of the term was our Year 7 camp. Over three days, students had the opportunity to form new friendships, strengthen existing ones, and challenge themselves in ways they never imagined. Whether it was tackling high rope courses, working as a team in problem-solving activities, or simply stepping out of their comfort zones, each student showed remarkable courage and determination. It was a joy to witness their growth, not only in confidence but also in their ability to support and encourage one another.

In addition to their fantastic efforts at camp, Year 7 students have consistently demonstrated a positive attitude towards their studies and school life. Their enthusiasm for learning, willingness to participate, and respect for one another have set a wonderful tone for the year ahead. A particular highlight has been the way they have taken pride in wearing their uniform. The standard of presentation has been exceptional, and we appreciate the effort students and families have put into ensuring they look their best every day.

Looking ahead to next term, a reminder that we will be transitioning to full winter uniform. This means all students will be required to wear their blazers each day. As always, we appreciate the continued support from families in maintaining our high uniform standards.

As we wind down the term, I want to thank our students, families, and staff for making this start to Year 7 such a memorable and successful one. I hope everyone enjoys a well-earned break, and I look forward to seeing all our students refreshed and ready for an exciting Term 2!
