Year 7 Update – Week 11

The Year 7 School House boarders have certainly hit the ground running this term. After a sensational camp down by the river in Port Hacking, the illusion that Senior School is all about sailing, beach cricket and water slides, has well and truly been shattered. With pencils’ sharpened and highlighters at the ready, the Year 7 boarders have immersed themselves in their studies. 

From completing a VLOG for PDHPE, getting stuck into directed numbers in Mathematics or trying to secretly slip a letter into Reverend Dudley’s office without being detected, the boys have certainly been busy. A key focus for the group this term is learning how to use their diaries properly. Amongst a whole host of benefits, if used appropriately, it can be a great source of staying organised and getting started on assessment tasks early. A majority of positive effort grades from their respective classroom teachers reflects well on the group. Let’s build on this in Term 2!

Year 7 Reflections

So far I have noticed that we get a lot of homework and that work is harder in some aspects. On the whole, it doesn’t feel a lot different from primary school but we do move around for classes which is fun but tiring. I went bowling on the weekend which was fun.

So far in my point of view, Year 7 has been a great experience. There are so many opportunities. I also have a chance to just go out to Greenwood Plaza after school and hang out with my friends. Although the homework could be slightly lessened, all the teachers have been friendly so far.
