Celebrations

Last week, the Junior School held a morning team for students who received a Letter of Commendation. Letters of Commendation were given to students who demonstrated outstanding commitment to learning and academic achievement from their mid-year reports. It was wonderful to have both students and staff celebrate the hard work and learning that has taken place in Term 1 and 2.

Our nominations for Class Leaders for Term 3 and 4 are coming to a close. Students will soon be guided through the speech and voting process to determine the Class Leaders for the remainder of the year. Being a Class Leader offers a formal leadership opportunity to work within a group to achieve a common goal. Students will explore elements of leadership and increase their own knowledge and skills around being a successful leader.  

Grade Focus

On Monday 16^th August, Grade 7 will engage in their first My Education Day for Term 3. My Education is a supportive and inclusive approach that will inspire and guide students as they undertake a journey of discovery in identifying who they are and what they want to become. It supports students to identify their personal interests, values, strengths, opportunities and aspirations and teaches them how to use this knowledge to make decisions about their future learning, work and life opportunities. Our first day this Term will focus on what job opportunities may be available as students enter the workforce. Exploration of traditional and non-traditional work, coupled with determining areas of high and low growth will offer students the chance to consider what their working life could entail.
