Year 8

This week in Luminary time students worked together to come up with their top 10 rules for being in inclusive and respectful friendships. Some of the aims of this were to build on their sense of self, connections with others and to understand that being inclusive and respectful in and of all types of relationships is essential. I encourage you to speak with your child about what made their list, and what would make yours? In Year 8, particularly in Luminary sessions and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) we talk about values and priorities. We discuss how these vary between people and how ‘finding your tribe’ is about finding people who although they may be different in personality, likes and dislikes, they align on their values. 

Next week Year 8 students will have House time on Friday to assist with preparations for the House Swimming Carnival which is on Friday 10 March 2023. The swimming carnival is a compulsory school event, participation based and loads of fun. Ask your Year 8 student what their House theme is for 2023 and I encourage all Year 8 students to dress up and show their House spirit.  

 I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming school events and as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
