From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 7

Hello year 7 students, parents and guardians,

We have now hit the halfway point of Year 7’s first term at St Andrews College. Students would have received a couple of assessments already. It is important that students are organised and work on these tasks day by day. If students are struggling with their assessments, they can speak with their teacher or can come and see me.

Camp

Camp is on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th of March. 

Students are required to be at school by 7:00am for a 7:30am departure time. (This time has changed from the note)

Students should arrive back to school by 2:45pm on Tuesday. 

I hope everyone is excited and eager for this experience. Students will be experiencing activities such as kayaking, abseiling and rock climbing. 

Please make sure you pack everything you need, students have access to the list on Google Classroom. 

Please ensure you also pack a raincoat or poncho as it may rain

Medical

Any students who take any medication throughout the day must bring this in a ziplock bag with instructions of administration.
