During Luminary time in Week 3, the girls met and engaged in activities and celebrations that were organised by Year 8. The younger girls were keen to play games, chat and share their experiences of life in the middle school. Year 12 has a lot to offer in terms of support and by providing a role model for the younger girls as leaders of the School.<\/p>\n<p>The younger girls also help Year 12 to look back on their time at school, remember what it was like to be in Year 8 and see their own experience in perspective. Giving back to others and sharing connections is a great way to boost wellbeing for Year 12 and a break from the assessment and study cycle. Our image shows some of the activities the girls participated in this week.<\/p>\n<p>Year 12 will attend their last Sydney Opera House Concert on Monday.
