Year 8

I would like to warmly welcome all families back for Term 2 and hope everyone had a refreshing break. The term has begun with great energy and enthusiasm across the cohort. The Senior School House Swimming Carnival was a fantastic highlight of Week 1 with great attendance and participation from Year 8. I particularly enjoyed the face paint and sparkles, and the spirit shown in the pool and from the sidelines was wonderful. I’d like to congratulate all Year 8 students on their positive engagement and House pride. 

Next week, after our extra special ANZAC Day long weekend, we will gather as a school for the ANZAC Service. This is an important opportunity to reflect and remember those who have served. Following this service, Xavier Maling, Officer Commanding MLCSACU and Jack Rudd, Adventure and Immersions Coordinator, will be speaking with Year 8 about the Cadet program, outlining the opportunities it offers for leadership, service and personal growth, and how Year 8 can become involved. I know many Year 8 students are looking forward to this opportunity. 

I am looking forward to another positive and productive term ahead and thank families for their continued support. Have a lovely weekend, and please reach out to the Luminary or myself if you have any concerns.
