From the Leader of Wellbeing Year 9

Dear St Andrews College Community,

I extend a heartfelt welcome to all Year 9 students and their parents/carers as we embark on our journey together in 2024. It's truly heartening to see the positive strides our Year 9 students have taken at the outset of this year. Their dedication to their studies and seamless adaptation to routines is truly commendable.

I am genuinely thrilled to collaborate with our Year 9 cohort, alongside our dedicated teachers and supportive parents. As our students immerse themselves in their chosen elective courses, this marks a pivotal moment where they begin to carve out their own educational paths and explore potential vocations.

Fostering an environment of active engagement and continuous growth, our Year 9 students are encouraged to embrace challenges, seek feedback, and inquire, striving for excellence in every lesson. This year, our focus has been on nurturing their wellbeing through weekly reflections located in their learning planners and fostering a stronger sense of community through participation in our Thursday sports program. I kindly request your assistance in ensuring they complete their scheduled wellbeing activities and encourage open conversations with your children about their school experiences.

In my capacity as Acting Leader of Wellbeing Year 9, I am honoured to continue the work initiated by Mr. Jarryd Leaves, who laid a solid foundation in supporting our Year 9 students. I am also delighted to warmly welcome and celebrate the addition of Miss Jasmine Breeze as Assistant Leader of Wellbeing Year 9. We both eagerly anticipate the Year 9 Wellbeing lessons and look forward to witnessing the growth and achievements of every student as they engage in the diverse opportunities and activities our College offers.

Should you require any assistance or have concerns regarding our Year 9 students, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at nweaver@parra.catholic.edu.au.

Warm regards,

Mr. Nathan Weaver

Acting Leader of Wellbeing Year 9
