Year 7

Well done Year 7. Last week at the Athletics carnival, Year 7 students were fantastic! The girls had amazing attendance and participation, and my highlight was watching every student in the grade sprint, skip or dance with friends down the 100m straight. The Year 7s engaged with their House themes and it was all in all, a fabulous day.

Year 7 have had another busy week with their Year 11 Big Sisters and Year 10 Peer Support leaders, continuing to build on their vertical connections. In our Year 7 meeting this week, we discussed a concept about friendships and I have challenged Year 7 to enact this in their day to day lives. It is about creating horseshoes and not circles in their friendship groups. It shows others that to truly be inclusive, you have space for more friends in your ‘group’. We also discussed being a part of many groups and that friendships are for each person alone to make decisions about and are not something that someone else can dictate for you. I encouraged you to chat about friendships and broad networks with your daughter over the weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend and please reach out to your daughters Luminary or teachers if you have any questions.
