Year 7

This was the week when all Year 7 girls farewelled Emily Marsh as she goes on maternity leave. The girls prepared a thank you card and signed it wishing Emily all the best and thanking her for her work with them. I would like to personally thank her for the enormous support given to me during the hand over process in taking in the new role as Acting Head of Year 7.

I would like to remind all girls to treat each other with respect. Respect is one of our School Values and we had our Chapel service this week. This was led by Reverend Vinnie Ravetali, and she talked about respecting others, even if they are not friends. I would like to remind the girls that they should always treat each other the way they wish to be treated. It would be wonderful for parents and carers to discuss this at home too. This would reinforce the importance of respecting others.

A gentle reminder that next week, on Friday 22 May 2026, the Year 7 girls will have their vaccinations here at school. These are usually organised by classes, and I will release the finalised timetable next week. The Year 7 students are allowed to come to school wearing their PE uniform during this day.

Read full instructions for online consent here. If this has not been provided for your daughter, a vaccination will not be available.

Last Sunday, some Year 7 girls participated in the Mother’s Day Classic Run. This is a charity run organised to collect donations to support breast and ovarian cancer research. It is wonderful to see how our girls go above and beyond to support such great causes.

Lastly, I would like to say that my time to memorise all names of my Year 7 girls has run out. From now on, for every name I do not remember, I will have to pay a ‘delicious’ price to my lovely Year 7 students. Furthermore, I will continue to create new challenges for the girls so that they can think, smile, get creative and have fun!
