The Year 7 Cohort has had an amazing start to their high school journey. I have been so impressed with how well they have settled into their new classes, routines and friendships. We started the term with our Values Week activities at Bickley Camp and on-site at school. Despite the hot weather, the students had a great time getting to know each other and completing the challenging activities facilitated by Bickley Camp staff.

One of the things we try to impart to Year 7 students during their Values Week is ‘helpful thinking strategies.’ I have included a copy of some of the strategies for your reference. These are great strategies for working through the different situations that may arise during each child’s high school journey.

The students should be commended for their resilience during a busy term for testing, with NAPLAN and school assessments making the middle and end of term very busy. Keep in mind that each class will have an assessment schedule on Connect so you can keep up to date with what is being studied in class.

As we are now in the swing of things, please find below a summary of the different clubs and activities that are currently being offered.
