Celebrations

Last Friday we held our very first Grade 7 Retreat Day.  Our Grade 7 students spent their day broken into 10 different teams of 16 students. Each team participating in some team building activities during the morning blocks, deciding upon their team name and creating a coat of arms. Students then completed a series of three activities for the remainder of the day which focused on building interdependence, teamwork, resilience, problem solving and communication skills. We would like to thank our Grade 7 teaching team for putting together such engaging and challenging activities for our students and congratulate our students for the incredible approach they took for the day.

We are looking forward to continuing this focus on our upcoming My Education Days this term. Please see below some photos from the day.

Grade Focus

Our Grade focus for the next few weeks will be consistently upholding our ROCKS. We have been disappointed with the behaviour of our students at break times and their ability to seek support from a teacher when conflict arises. 

During our most recent weekly grade assembly, Mrs Wightman supported by Jasmine our school Social Worker, addressed the grade about concerns for personal safety from silly and unnecessary physical behaviour.  In addition to this, the legal aspects of these types of behaviours were addressed with the grade regarding the seriousness of ‘play fighting’ and physical behaviour. 

At Kings Meadows High School, we deal with physical behaviour very seriously and will not tolerate this in our learning environment. We would like to encourage parents/carers of Grade 7 students to discuss the messages raised in assembly and our schoolwide ROCKS expectations with students. By sending clear and consistent messages at school and at home and setting high expectations for our students' behaviour will assist improving their behaviour and ensuring that learning is the highest priority.
