From the Acting Leader of Wellbeing - Year 8

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Year 8 Students,

Congratulations, Year 8, on a successful year! Well done on all your accomplishments—each of you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. It has been a privilege to witness your growth in confidence, ability, and resilience. Watching you continue to build meaningful friendships within the Year Group and embody the values of being a person for others, always going above and beyond, has been truly inspiring.

I have been very grateful to serve as your Acting Leader of Wellbeing during Term 4. I want to sincerely thank the parents, guardians, and students for their ongoing support throughout the term. Your encouragement and partnership have meant a great deal to me and have made this experience even more rewarding.

I am excited to share that Mr. Kharl Carlos will be returning as the Leader of Wellbeing in Term 1, 2025. I look forward to continuing in my role as the Assistant Leader of Wellbeing and working alongside him to support our wonderful school community.

Year 8 Camp
On Thursday 12 and Friday 13 December, Year 8 attended camp at AGH Camps in Douglas Park. Over the two-day camp, students challenged themselves to a variety of exciting activities, including Sky Cycle, Dangling Duo, Archery, High Ropes, and Initiative Exercises.

It was wonderful to see Year 8 build a stronger sense of community, push their boundaries, develop recreational skills, celebrate personal achievements, and grow in confidence. A special congratulations to those students who stepped outside their comfort zones—you should be very proud!

We were also delighted to have Dr Kennaugh visit us on Thursday, which the students greatly appreciated.

A big thank you to Ms Rujicica, Mrs Cooper, Mr Din, Miss Negline, Ms Cusack, Mr Cheung, Ms Malonzo, Mrs Appleby, Mrs Kemal, Mr Dunaeff, Miss Rivera, and Miss Manton for attending camp and ensuring the students had a fantastic experience.

Finally, congratulations to Year 8 for their enthusiasm, participation, and effort during camp. It was a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.

As we conclude the year, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a safe and joyful New Year. I look forward to seeing you all in 2025!

Best wishes,
Ms Susan Amiri
Acting Leader of Wellbeing – Year 8
