Year 10
We have all been excited about the impending immersive experiences happening next week for Year 10. Year 10 have had a fun and short day planning, discussing scenarios and team building.
During Luminary time and Academic Care this week, the cohort worked further on their immersion projects and discussed ways to look after one another on immersion and show kindness.
Please ensure you regularly check the Omnia Portal for any updates regarding both immersions.
In regards to packing, logistics and social and emotional challenges your daughters may face on immersion, I do encourage you to try to allow them to manage these themselves and begin to find their own solutions. Adults regularly underestimate what young people can achieve themselves. Both immersions are safe travel moments for Year 10 to learn, show empathy to others and problem-solve.
