TERM 3 MIDDLE SCHOOL UPDATES

With the start of Semester 2, all of our Year 7, 8 and 9 students have started in their new choice/practical subjects. This is a fantastic way for them to try new things, develop new skills and start thinking about their future study and careers.

The Year 7s are especially excited for Digital Media with lots of reminders to walk over there, not run! They are exploring some learning through Minecraft and will get to do some experimenting with programming the Spheroes and see the drones in action.

Additionally, there are lots of exciting things happening with sewing projects in Textiles (including neck warmers for the Year 9 Ski Trip) and Home Ec. New students in Tech means a re-visit of safety rules before getting stuck into hand tool work for the Year 7s and welding for the Year 9s.

There have been a few changes to classes and teachers across the middle school. Now is a great time to chat with your children about what has changed for them in Semester 2 and what they are enjoying!

YEAR 9 SKI-TRIP

We have over 20 students preparing for the trip of a lifetime – the first visit to the snow for many of our students! An additional reminder of what to pack, staff contact details and food donations have been sent home this week. Please read through this with your child and contact the school if you have any questions.

For those Year 9 students who are remaining at school that week, we have been very lucky to have Ms Travers organise a range of activities and excursions! With the help of other staff attending excursions and running activities, this is sure to be a fun experience for everyone!
