From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 8

Dear Year 8 Students and Parents,

We hope this newsletter finds you well and that you are enjoying another exciting school term at St Andrews. We are delighted to report that Year 8 has had a great start to the term and we are proud of their achievements both in and out of the classroom. We have seen some fantastic involvement in cross country, athletics, and debating, which is great to see and we hope to see this continue throughout the year.

As we look ahead, we want to remind you of the upcoming Unity Day on the 23rd of June. This is a day where we celebrate the fantastic multicultural community of St Andrews College. We encourage all of you to get involved and celebrate as a community. This is a great opportunity to learn about and embrace the different cultures that make our school such a diverse and vibrant place.

As we approach the middle of the year, we want to start thinking about subject selection for Year 9. The college offers a wide range of subjects for students to choose from, and we want to ensure that students are selecting the right subjects for their future studies. An information night will be held in July, which will provide students and parents with important information about the subjects available, the benefits of each subject, and what to expect in Year 9. More information will be provided as we progress through the term.

We encourage all students to start thinking about their subject choices and to talk to their teachers and parents about what subjects they are interested in and what will be most beneficial for their future studies. 

We are excited about the rest of the year ahead and look forward to seeing all of the amazing things that Year 8 will achieve.

Best wishes,

Jarryd Leaves
