As we move toward the end of Term 2, I want to acknowledge the continued effort, growth and maturity our Year 8 students have shown throughout a very full and vibrant term. The girls have balanced their academic responsibilities with a wide range of wellbeing initiatives, community building experiences and opportunities for personal development and it has been wonderful to see their confidence and connectedness continue to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week we joined Year 7 to celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart Mass. This special occasion invited our students to pause, reflect and come together in faith as a community. The Mass centred on themes of compassion, love and service, values that sit at the heart of our college. Our Year 8 students participated with reverence and maturity, demonstrating a deep respect for the significance of the celebration and for the shared experience with their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are now well into our Raise Mentoring Program for the term and it has been a steady and positive experience for the students involved. Each week, the girls meet with their mentors in a quiet, supportive setting and it has been encouraging to see them gradually grow more comfortable in these conversations. The sessions have given students a chance to talk about school, friendships and the everyday challenges of being in Year 8, with someone who is there simply to listen and support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Year 8 students participating in the program have already begun forming positive relationships with their mentors and we look forward to seeing the continued growth and confidence this experience will foster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to ensure a safe, nurturing and enriching environment for every student in Year 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
