YEAR 9 REPORT:
This term has been quite a busy time for many students in Year 9, especially with all the extra curricular opportunities, outside their normal learning program. From Arts Night, triathlon, basketball championships, Dance Fever and athletics carnivals, these are some of the many programs that continue to build connection, respect and responsibility (DECYP values) in our students. In addition to the above, some students in Year 9 are starting to explore employment options for 2025, through starting to undertake work experience programs and gaining an understanding of the requirements of chosen pathways.
With the leadership positions being announced last week, we congratulate all the students who were able to go through the selection process over the past few months. From the initial meetings, application work, interview process through to the whole school speeches which took place in the gymnasium, we are extremely proud of all the students. As with any democratic process, only a number can be selected, therefore we congratulate the ones who have been selected for 2025. We look forward to the work you and your peers do in helping to shape and support the students at KMHS. For the students who missed out, it’s important to view it as a stepping stone rather than a setback. Many successful leaders have faced similar challenges, therefore keep your vision and drive, by using this as a chance to grow and prepare for future opportunities.
Regarding 2025, an expression of interest has gone out to students for the Melbourne Trip in 2025. This fantastic opportunity will take place in Term 2. If your child is interested in this, students need to return their form ASAP, so planning can start. Any questions, please see Mr Poke.
As we wind down the year, it is important that we keep our standards high, coming to school each day focussed and ready to learn. Year 9 has absolutely flown by in a flash and we are looking forward to entering Year 10.
