Year 7

Mr Stephen Flew
Leader of Wellbeing – Year 7

The past six months have been a particularly busy and rewarding period for Year 7.  Students commenced Term 2 with a three day camp at the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation in Narrabeen, where they participated in abseiling, kayaking, bushwalking and a variety of other activities designed to strengthen peer connections and build resilience.

At the end of Term 2, Year 7 engaged in a Drama incursion, workshopping dramatic techniques linked to their study of the novel Detention. Students also attended an excursion to Sydney Zoo in Bungarribee to deepen their understanding of cells and animal classification.

Across Terms 2 and 3, Year 7 students represented the College in a broad range of sports and extracurricular activities, including Soccer, AFL, Hockey, Rugby 7s, Chess and Debating. It has been encouraging to see such strong levels of participation and enthusiasm for the opportunities available at the College.

During Pastoral Care sessions, Year 7 marked RUOK? Day by wearing yellow and taking time to check in on their mates. They also completed the election of student leaders for next year, who will be formally acknowledged at an assembly next term. We look forward to seeing these students exemplify what it means to be a Marist.
