The Year 7s have certainly hit the ground running this term. It has been a busy few weeks! Not only did we have our camp days at Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp, but we also had swimming trials and our sessions back at school. In these sessions, our mentor teachers have explored helpful thinking strategies and ways of dealing with the challenges that life and high school sometimes bring. I have attached a handout from the program that you may find helpful when talking with your children.

The next few weeks are all about establishing routine and understanding the expectations of each teacher and class. If you have any queries about this, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.

I have been thrilled to see students forming few friendships, engaging positively in class activities, and growing in confidence as they navigate their new classes.
