From the Leader of Learning Year 8
Dear Parents/Carers,
What a wonderful term year 8 has had! Year 8 have settled back into schooling life and have had a successful term 1.
Wellbeing Lessons
During our Wellbeing lessons this term, students have had the opportunity to learn about their character strengths and how students will use their character strengths in their learning and life. Students set goals for the term or semester. Students set goals around building skills, connecting with others and a personal goal. Students have worked on their social intelligence skills focusing on empathy and respect in order to form positive relationships.
