From late November into early December, our students recently completed the Early Commencement Program. This year’s Year 8 students began their Year 9 classes and our Year 9s moved into their Year 10 classes. The program has many benefits including helping to transition students into their new year level and it also allows them to better understand the learning program they will be undertaking in each subject in the coming year.
This was followed by the Year End Program with students undertaking a range of activities including travelling to Gumbuya World, The Melbourne Zoo and also undertaking school based activities.
Thanks must go to the Middle School Leadership Team who work with our middle school students, with Mrs Asha Vazirani (Head of Middle School), Mr Liam Wall (Middle School Leader), working closely with our year level coordinators, Mr Adam Wheeler, Mrs Juliz Mathew, Ms Stephanie Xing and Mr Aayush Khosla providing guidance and support to our Middle School students across this year. Thank you also to Mrs Karen Box for supporting our staff and students.
Finally, as this year closes, we start to look towards next year and the opportunities for learning and growth that will be on offer at the college. I look forward to welcoming students back to college next year at they continue their learning journey at Mount Waverley Secondary College.
