Year 7 Report

Welcome back to Term 4. So far, we have been lucky to have some lovely weather and the students have had some great opportunities in recent weeks to showcase their talents and participate in school events. Congratulations to those Year 7 students who have recently represented our school at the Interschool Track and Field and those who took to the stage to perform at the Twilight Concert.

In Week 2, we celebrated ‘Wellness Week’ and it was great to see the Year 7s embracing the activities and having fun with their peers. As an ‘Act, Belong, Commit’ school we believe that participating in activities like these is great for everyone’s mental health. Students had the opportunity to make smoothies on the smoothie bike, play with giant games and sing along at lunchtime karaoke. This all culminated in Kalamunda Day with our special assembly and activities in the afternoon. We hope that the Year 7s had a great time.

As much as we love the fun and games, there has also been a lot of learning happening in class. From geometry to democracy, the students have a lot of assessments coming up so this is a good time to remind students to make sure that they are focusing in class and on track to end the year doing their very best.

There are a few things coming up in the next couple of weeks to be mindful of:

Student Leadership

We will soon be calling for nominations for the Year 8 Student Leadership team. All students who would like to get involved in the school community are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will be invited to a student leadership camp in Week 8 of this term.

Good Standing

We have a fun end-of year reward planned at Rollarrama in Week 10, but students must have their Good Standing to attend. If students lose their Good Standing, parents are notified by email. To regain their Good Standing, students need to make an appointment with Mrs Walker to go on an improvement plan. We look forward to acknowledging the students who have maintained their Good Standing and have consistently demonstrated the school’s values of respect, pride, resilience, love of learning and community.

As always, if you have any queries, please get in touch via the front office or email kelly.walker2@education.wa.edu.au
