Year 8

Year 8 students have continued to settle well into Term 1, with a strong focus on organisation, wellbeing, and engagement across the cohort. This week, students have been supported through a Digital Skills session, prepared by Marianna Carlino, Director of eLearning and had Camille Softley, Teacher – Visual Arts, come and speak to the group about the Visual Arts excursion (currently being held on Friday as I write).

A number of students have also commenced their involvement in the Strong Together service program, with induction sessions taking place and final consent forms being collected. This initiative provides students with a valuable opportunity to build connections with senior citizens in the Burwood local community and will be one of a variety of service opportunities available to Year 8.

As we move into Week 6, students are encouraged to continue checking Canvas announcements and their assessment schedules, particularly as some tasks have been updated. The assessment calendar should now also be available for parents on Omnia. Year 8 students are reminded to keep up the positive momentum by arriving prepared for lessons, meeting deadlines, and seeking support when needed.

We look forward to another productive week ahead in Week 6!
