Celebrations

A big congratulations must go out the Grade 8 cohort for their settled start to the Term 4. It has been great to see students engaged with their learning and following the ROCKS expectations on a daily basis. In grade assembly this week we discussed how important it is to get the most out of yourself during Term 4. Staff will be encouraging students to take every opportunity that comes their way and to “get out of their comfort zone”. During this term, there will plenty of events where students can be actively involved such as My Education Days and Big Day Out activities. An exciting term ahead.

Athletics Carnival 

The Kings Meadows High School Athletics Carnival was held last Wednesday and Thursday both here at school and St Leonard’s Athletics Centre. These are always fantastic events, and it was great to see the Grade 8 students engaged in all the activities. The participation and house spirit were fabulous and plenty of students played their part in gaining house points. Congratulations to Esk House for winning the 2021 champion house.  A big congratulations to all Grade 8 students who were place getters and have qualified for the Inter-High Carnival later this term. Good luck and enjoy representing Kings Meadows High School at the next level.

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 extends outside the school gates. We want each and every student to build upon our schools 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.
• After you have accessed your locker head straight to class.
• After school move directly to the location where your bus picks you up from.
• Students who are walking or catching a bus outside of the school gates need to leave the grounds quickly.
