From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 8

Dear Year 8 Students and Parents,

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a rejuvenating break and are now ready to dive back into the exciting world of learning and growth. As the Leader of Wellbeing for Year 8, I am thrilled to see all the wonderful successes we have achieved so far and look forward to celebrating even more accomplishments together in the coming months.

1) Celebrating Our Successes

As we enter the third term, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the achievements and progress we've made as a school community. From outstanding academic performances to notable contributions in various extracurricular activities, each and every one of you has contributed to the positive and vibrant environment of our school. Let's continue to build on our successes and support one another in reaching new heights.

2) Congratulations to Our New Learning Group Leaders

A big round of applause to the new Learning Group leaders for Semester 2! Your dedication and willingness to take on leadership roles within your respective groups are commendable. As Learning Group leaders, you play a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity among your peers. Remember to lead with kindness, empathy, and understanding, as you inspire others to excel both academically and personally.

3) Winter Uniform Reminders

As the weather remains cool during this term, we will continue to wear our winter uniforms. Don't forget to put on your blazer each morning when arriving at school. Your blazer should be worn into your learning group until your name is marked off, after which you may take it off. When the school day comes to an end, please remember to wear your blazer when leaving for the day. Wearing our uniform with pride is a reflection of our commitment to the values and traditions of our school.

4) Subject Selection Process

A big thank-you to all of you for the speed and efficiency in completing the Subject Selection process. The Timetable team is hard at work behind the scenes, ensuring that your selections are locked in and processed as quickly as possible. We understand the importance of having a well-balanced timetable that aligns with your interests and academic goals, and we are striving to finalise them promptly.

5) Emphasising Work Ethic and Making Everything Count

As we progress through this busy term, let's remind ourselves of the significance of a strong work ethic. Each day presents new opportunities for growth and learning. Whether it's in the classroom, during extracurricular activities, or within our personal pursuits, let's give our best effort and make every moment count. Remember, it's not just about the results we achieve, but the effort and determination we put in that truly define our success.

Let's make Term 3 a period of growth, collaboration, and celebration. As always, my door is always open if you need support, guidance, or just someone to talk to. 

Together, we can create a positive and nurturing environment where each one of us thrives.

Wishing you all a fantastic Term 3!

Best regards,

Jarryd Leaves
