At this stage of the year the two most important things on everyone’s mind are the upcoming exams and the end of year activities.

Exams

By the time you read this, our Year 9 students will have completed their first lot of end of year exams. It is really important that when they receive feedback on these from their teachers, they take it on board as it starts to help them develop a set of skills to prepare, plan and then complete an exam. They will have exams in Year 10 and depending on their pathway in Year 11 and onwards, they may have exams in Year 11 and 12 as well. Exams are just one part of our assessment program in Middle school so if you have any questions about them then I urge you to make contact with either the subject teacher or the Head of Learning Area,

End of Year Activities

As a part of the Good Standing Program we are offering students in Years 7, 8 and 9 the opportunity to participate in the end of year activities. The Year 7s will be having a Big Day In, on Monday 13 December. This will comprise of water slides, bungee run and other rides.

Ms Stanbrook will be running a Y8 Outdoor Cinema her at school on Wednesday 15 December.

The Year 9s will have their annual River Rock on Tuesday 14 December. The cost for the night (which includes boat hire, a DJ, Pizzas and soft drinks throughout the night) will be distributed shortly. 

For a student to be eligible to attend any of the above activities they must have their Good Standing at: Year 7 – 3pm Thursday 9 December, Year 8 – 3pm Wednesday 15 December, Year 9 – 3pm Tuesday 14 December.
