Year 8

With Christmas decorations in full swing, Year 8 have been counting down the final days of the school year. As we near the end of what has been the first full face-to-face school year since 2019, Year 8 have spent some time celebrating! The students have been celebrating how far they have come since Day 1 of Year 7, celebrating each other as a Year Group in Chapel, spending time with their Big Sisters, and taking time to acknowledge the people they have been grateful for in 2022.

As this is the last newsletter for the year, I would like to thank all Year 8 students and families for working with me over the past year. As I have mentioned previously, I will remain the Head of Year for this amazing cohort until the end of Year 9 so I will be back in 2023 to help navigate all that Year 8 brings.

Families, please ensure that you read the communications sent out via email about Speech Night. It is a compulsory school event and I look forward to seeing you with your Year 8 student next Thursday 8 December 2022 at Darling Harbour. 

• Musicians have been asked to arrive at 2.30pm for a 3pm sound check.

• Year 7 to Year 11 students are asked to arrive at 4.15pm.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I would like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season and thank you again for your ongoing support.
