From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 7

Hello year 7 students, parents and guardians, 

Year 7 are almost at the halfway point of their first term here at St Andrews College. It has been great to see all students participating and getting involved in what the College has to offer. Our students have been able to try out for a number of activities such as Representative Sport, Theatre Sports, Public Speaking and Debating.  

Students are starting to find their feet and develop a routine to ensure that they stay organised and manage their school and lifestyle. Continue to strive for your personal bests and continue to be the best people you can be. 

It was great to see the parents/guardians at the Year 7 Meet & Greet last Wednesday. I hope that you were able to ask all the questions you needed to the Learning Advisors. 

Camp

Camp is quickly approaching on March 6 and 7 at the Collaroy Centre. Parents would have received an email from the Venue360 which would require you to complete a dietary requirement form. If you have not returned the permission slip, can you please return this Monday morning. 

Cabins will be sorted in the coming weeks.
