GRADE 7 REPORT:
Celebrations
My Education:
On Monday 1st September, Grade 7s were involved in their third My Education Day. The theme for the day was around ‘combatting bullying, choosing kindness, awareness and acceptance.’ Students began the day with a visual text on ‘Wonder’ and completed activities as a group which raised their awareness of the uniqueness of people. Students are now in the process of planning a group awareness project which will continue into My Education day 4 in Term 4. We are very proud of how our students conducted themselves and contributed to such important messages. Well done Grade 7!

Grade Focus
Our focus continues to be around our ROCKS expectations with particular attention to Keeping Safe, Sensible Behaviour and Organisation. Students are reminded every Monday in our Grade assemblies about their commitment to the ROCKS. We are beginning to see improvements in student organisation and will continue to work with students around our hands-off policy. We would greatly appreciate parents having a conversation at home about the dangers of play fighting and rough play.
Grade Assembly
Notable items from assembly:
Can Drive:
Mr Murray and the Class Leaders are supporting the Benevolent Society and have brought the can drive to Grade 7 classrooms! Non-perishable food items may be brought from home to contribute to the charity. Taking it one step further, this will be an inter-class challenge where the Class Teacher group whose collective items weigh the most will win a prize! Good luck to all Class Teacher groups and congratulations to Mr Murray and Class Leaders for bringing such an important charity into Kings Meadows High School.
Girls football gala day:
On Thursday 24th September Mrs Hume and Mr Whitford will be taking a group of 7/8 girls to Windsor Park for the NHSSA girls football gala day. We have had a lot of interest from our Grade 7 girls and congratulate them on their involvement. A permission letter will be sent home this week.
Reminders:
Leaving school without permission:
Students have been reminded this week that once they are on school site, they are not permitted to leave without permission or being signed out by a parent and the front office.
Drawing on self:
Staff have recently noticed an increase in students drawing on their bodies with pen. This is not sensible behaviour and students have been reminded of this.
