GRADE 7 REPORT:
Celebrations
On 31st May we had have our first My Education Day for Term 2. My Education is a whole school approach to career and life planning. On this day, students engaged in a range of activities, including:
You as a learner - What are your strengths? What skills are you still developing upon?
Who is in your top 5? How are we influenced by others?
What do you want your life to be like in the future? A letter to your future self.
What jobs are really out there? Job awareness.
How well can you work together? Class challenges.
Our second My Education Day for Term 2 will be held on Friday 11th June. This day will focus on celebrating our differences and acknowledging the range of challenges and adversity individuals overcome.
Transition Leader applications have now closed. Mrs Wightman, Mr Hartley, Mr Withington and Miss Williams have been extremely impressed at the number and quality of applications. This is the second formal leadership opportunity for our Grade 7 students and a highly valued role within our school and wider community. Successful applicants will work alongside Mrs Wightman supporting the 2022 Grade 7 students as they transition to Kings Meadows High School.
Grade Focus
Our grade focus continues to be organisation.
Being organised is a transferable skill that can be used in most settings. For students, being organised is particularly important since it helps them learn how to prioritise activities, set and achieve goals and reduce stress. Having good organisational skills also makes it easier to collaborate with others and helps increase opportunity for teaching and learning.
Grade 7 have undergone an organisation blitz over the past 2 weeks. This has been maintained to ensure all students are ready for learning across all subject areas. Grade 7 teachers are looking for students to:
- Arrive to class on time.
- Arrive with the correct equipment – pens, pencils, ruler, calculator, charged iPad.
- Use recess and lunch time for toilet breaks.
