Assessments are underway, and we did speak briefly at the end of last week about the importance of feedback, rather than marks. Year 7 is the very beginning of their high school journey and I am well aware that students are so keen to do well, which is a great quality. We have talked about managing expectations, and that high school is different to primary school. Learning is a process, is not linear and the aim is to keep building skills across the curriculum over the next four years, to be ready for their senior studies. I encourage you to also have these discussions at home, and please reach out to your daughters Luminary or class teach for guidance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Year 7 had a lovely session with their Year 10 Peer Support Leaders on Thursday of this week. It\u2019s fantastic to see the students fostering vertical connections within their House groups. The activities run in Peer Support are all about building connections, positive relationships and having fun whilst doing that!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Year 7 Study Skills with Dr Prue Salter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday 24 March 2025<\/strong><br \/>\n6pm\u20137pm<br \/>\nPotts Hall<\/p>\n<p>Year 7 parents\/guardians and students\u00a0are invited to attend this valuable\u00a0study skills evening with\u00a0Dr Prue Salter.
