GRADE 8 REPORT:
Celebrations
On Thursday 9th September the Grade 8 students held their first school social in the gym. This was a fantastic event that allowed the Grade 8 cohort to socialise in a safe and positive atmosphere. The purpose behind the social was to provide an opportunity for students to get to know each other better. It was important for this opportunity to be given due to the absence of their Grade 7 camp. During the event there was plenty of dancing, photo booth pictures, side games and limbo. It was great to see all the students engaging in the planned activities. The staff would like to thank the students for their excellent behaviour and for following the ROCKS expectations so well. A big thank you to all staff and students involved in the weeks of preparation of this event. It was greatly appreciated.
Reminder
Kings Meadows High School follows the “Off and Away” policy with mobile phones. Phones are to be off and in lockers for the duration of the day. Students will accumulate phones offences if caught with phones during the day.
In Grade assemblies, we have been discussing how quickly the school year is going and the fact that students will soon be entering senior school. Staff have discussed that in Grade 9 you will be role models for Junior School and the positive decisions you make today, will hold you in good stead ready for senior school.
Grade Focus
The Grade 8 focus for this term will be centred around how to be a respectful member of the Kings Meadows High School Community. We have emphasised the importance of being proud of your school, looking after our fantastic facilities, wearing uniform with pride and being respectful to all members of our school community. An important point we are focussing on is being a respectful member of the Kings Meadows High School Community extending outside the school gates. We want each and every student to build upon our school's already positive reputation.
The following reminders have been discussed in this week’s grade assembly:
- Lockers must be locked at all times with your phone placed inside.
- Please wait until you are outside B Block before you start eating.
- Breakfast Club - food and drinks need to be consumed before entering B Block.
