Year 8
This week was a busy and exciting one for Year 8! With Ms Schurch away on Year 10 Camp, we, Amara and Aditi, the 2026 Middle Years Leaders for Mooramoora and Leawarra, have stepped in to help write the newsletter this week.
On Tuesday, our Year 8 Cadets took part in their first Remembrance Day Service, which focused on the generations affected by war. Everyone did a great job and showed respect throughout the ceremony, even in the heat!

Well done to everyone who applied, it was a tough selection process, and we’re so proud of you all.
Finally, this week also saw the Middle Years Production: Trackers! Many Year 8 students took part in this exciting sci-fi play. Everyone had an incredible time and gained great experience. Bethany Haddad said, “I loved being a part of the play, it was such an amazing experience to be able to work with so many amazing people.”
Congratulations to everyone involved in the show!
This week really showed how talented, hardworking, and supportive our Year 8 group is, from cadets and performances to leadership and teamwork. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the term brings!
