Term 3 PE Program
The Year 8 students are currently enjoying their self-defence unit in conjunction with Melbourne Taekwondo Club. Likewise, the Year 7s have been heading to Clayton Pool for their swimming lessons. Later in the term our Year 8s will attend the Bounce trampoline centre, while the Year 7s will be completing a gymnastics unit. These programs are a great addition to the PE curriculum, teaching our students valuable life skills.
Languages Day
On Wednesday 24 July the Junior Campus held our annual Languages Day, where we celebrate the cultures of Japan and Germany. We held our traditional assembly in the morning, where we were treated to some German poetry recitals, and a great Japanese dance by our Year 7s. The Year 8s then took part in either a German Oompah band, or a Japanese comedy performance. Finally, students and staff enjoyed some delicious Obento boxes and German pretzels for lunch, while watching the traditional Japan vs German soccer game. It was great to see our students celebrating a love of languages. Well done to the Languages Faculty for their organisation.
Year 9 2025 Subject Selection
Thank you to all of the families who tuned in to the Year 9 2025 Subject Information Evening on Thursday 1 August. This is an exciting time for students as they start to think about their transition to the Senior Campus, and all of the new academic opportunities on offer. I would encourage all families to discuss the options and check the website for more information before submitting selections in the coming weeks.
Signing in and out of school
This is a reminder to all families that, where possible, all appointments etc. should be arranged outside of school hours. When this is not possible, it is important that you keep us informed via Compass. When collecting your child early, please inform us beforehand so that we can make for a smoother exit from school. At Year 7 and 8, it is compulsory that an approved adult collects the student from the office. We will not allow any student to make their own way off campus before the end of the school day.
