From the Leader of Wellbeing - Year 7

As we begin our journey together, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Year 7 parents for their incredible support during the crucial transition period for your sons and daughters.

The recent meet and greet evening was a resounding success, with a fantastic turnout that showcased the strong sense of community within St Andrews College. It was wonderful to meet so many of you and engage in conversations about the exciting journey that lies ahead for our Year 7 students.

Exciting Ventures on the Horizon:

As we gear up for an exciting term, one of the highlights is the upcoming camp. In the final stages of planning, this promises to be a memorable experience for our Year 7 students, providing opportunities for bonding, learning, and creating lasting memories. I look forward to sharing lots of photos of this event with you in the next newsletter. 

Fostering Effective Study Habits:

Building effective study habits early in high school lays the foundation for academic success. Encourage your child to establish a dedicated study routine, prioritise tasks, and seek support when needed. The development of these habits will not only contribute to their current academic progress but also set them on a path for continued success throughout their high school journey.

Navigating the Digital Landscape:

In today's digital age, we also want to highlight the importance of monitoring your child's activities on social media. While it's a platform for socializing, it's crucial to ensure its responsible use. Encourage open communication with your child about their online activities, be aware of their friends and connections, and provide guidance for a safe and positive online environment.

Your Point of Contact:

Should you have any questions or concerns, our students' Learning Advisor is an excellent first point of contact. Alternatively, feel free to reach out to Jarryd Leaves, Leader of Wellbeing - Year 7, at any time.

As we forge ahead into the academic year, we want to express our gratitude for the strong partnership between home and school. Your involvement and support are fundamental to the success of our students, and we look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and achievement.

Thank you for being an integral part of the St Andrews College community.

Best Regards,

Jarryd Leaves
