Celebrations

Congratulations must go to our Beacon Student Ambassadors for a fantastic Careers on Wheels event which was run during the morning session of our My Education Day last week. 20 businesses pulled up their cars and welcomed our Grade 10 students to inform them about their business and industry. I’m sure our Grade 10 students got lots out of it, including a few freebies.

Well done to the Prefects who this week held their ‘Sun’ Day ‘Fun’ Day, to promote sun safety awareness in our school. It was fantastic to see so many students wearing their summer inspired outfits and enjoying the presentation from Ella French, representative from the Cancer Council. A fantastic initiative and we look forward to seeing more of our students wearing hats at break times.

We would also like to acknowledge our whole grade who enrolled at either Launceston or Newstead College last week. We were pleased with the way students took these enrolments in their stride.

Grade Focus

Our focus for the remainder of the term will for our Grade 10 students to finish strongly and abide by our ROCKS Expectations. We understand that there are many exciting events for Grade 10 students coming up, however it is important for them to remember that the learning they are doing now is going to contribute to their end of year marks and overall understanding that they will take with them to college next year. Students have been reminded about being respectful, displaying commitment to learning and to be sensible in their behaviour. The Grade 10 team continue to have high expectations of our Grade 10 students as leaders of the school until their very last moments at Kings Meadows High School.
