Celebrations

The last couple of weeks have gone BY in a flash in Grade 10. With the year moving along swiftly we are reminding our Grade 10 students to make the most of all opportunities as the year will pass quickly.

Last week we had our last ever school cross country event. Congratulations to Lincoln and Millie for being Grade 10 champions, with Logan, Ashton, Jess and Taylah rounding out the top three positions. 

This month we have our two College open days. Our Grade 10s will be visiting Launceston College on Monday June 21st and Newstead College on Thursday June 24. At both days students will have the opportunity to choose subjects they are interested in and get a taste for what college life will be like. In My Education Days this term our focus will be around this transition and preparing our students for life beyond KMHS.

Within the classroom our Grade 10 students are continuing with their academic rigour this term. In English students have recently started a unit of work on the topic of Macbeth. In Science our students are completing a module on Physics centred around motor vehicles. HASS students are studying and focussing on the World War 2. In HPE practical lessons students are completing a team sport unit focusing on rugby. For this unit Rugby Tas will be coming in and taking some sessions. In Health lessons we are undertaking work based around mental health. Mathematics classes have our students working on equation solving and moving into quadratics.

Our student leaders continue to fulfil their roles dutifully. Our House Captains have recently helped organise and run the school Cross Country carnival, our Peer Support Leaders have supported our Grade 7 students in their My Education Days and our Beacon Leaders had their first event bringing the Polish Program to the Grade 9’s. The prefect group are working on facilitating our first whole school assembly later this term and are busy planning another full school fundraising event. Thank you and well done to all these leaders for their commitment to their roles.

During this month, we will be handing out to students their Grade 10 Agreement letter. This letter outlines the end of year activities that will be on offer for our students and the pre-requisites we require for those agreements to be met. In preparation for this agreement we have been reinforcing the high expectations we set of our students regarding uniform, academic rigour, behaviour and attendance.

Grade Focus

Our Grade focus this term will be preparing for the transition from Grade 10 to further education.

We will be setting ourselves goals that challenge us and establishing good learning behaviours and academic rigour in all classes.
