Celebrations
On Monday 24th May we held our annual Cross Country at Kings Meadows High School. The Cross Country is always an exciting day, as all students practice hard during PE times to try and gain much needed points for their houses. Congratulations to all Grade 8 students on their participation and fantastic efforts on the day. It was great to see all students with smiles on their faces and enjoying each other's company on what was a warm sunny day. A big congratulations to our Grade 8 winners Lucy Smith (8A) and Riley Howard (8G). Your effort and dedication to the race was excellent and your win was thoroughly deserved.
Congratulations to our Grade 8 class leaders who are taking every opportunity to be active in our Grade 8 space. It has been great to see leaders getting out of their comfort zones and speaking about the pressing issues to students in grade assemblies. Thank you for your dedication in attending scheduled meetings in lunch breaks and planning exciting events for the Grade 8 cohort. A thank you also goes out to Mr Chatwin who is doing a fantastic job with this group of students.
Well done to all our Grade 8 students on their participation and commitment to their enrichment courses so far this term. Thank you for being dedicated to your team in junior sports and to your chosen enrichment subjects. Keep up the good work.
Grade Focus
Our grade focus over the last couple of weeks has been “respectful communication”. It has been great to see our students embracing this concept and learning how to communicate respectfully within a school setting. Over the next couple of weeks, we will continue to show respect through communication by listening graciously, being courteous and valuing others' opinions. These skills will be actively displayed daily, and in particular the upcoming My Education Day where students will be completing activities in groups where communication is key to success.
