CONNECT Coordinator Junior Sub School Leader
Welcome back to Term 4! It’s shaping up to be an exciting and busy term across the Junior Sub School, with plenty of opportunities for students to learn, connect, and celebrate the end of another successful year.
Our Year 7 students are beginning to make important choices for 2026 as they select to continue with either German or Japanese as their language. This decision allows students to explore new cultures, build global awareness, and develop valuable communication skills that extend beyond the classroom.
Next week, our Year 8 students will take part in the ‘Smashed’ incursion, a dynamic and interactive program that explores decision-making, peer pressure, and responsible choices. This session provides valuable insights into wellbeing and supports students in developing confidence and resilience.
We’re also looking forward to Multicultural Day, a whole-school celebration of the rich diversity that makes our community so special. Students will enjoy a range of cultural activities, performances, and food experiences — a wonderful opportunity to learn from and appreciate the many backgrounds represented within our school.
As we move toward the end of the year, students will begin preparing for end-of-year exams, where they’ll have the chance to demonstrate their learning growth and reflect on their achievements.
Another highlight will be Swimming Week, an engaging and active program that promotes confidence, teamwork, and water safety, always a favourite among students.
Finally, our Year 8 STEM projects will be underway, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving through hands-on challenges that bring science, technology, engineering and mathematics to life.
Term 4 promises to be full of learning, fun, and opportunities to finish the year on a high note. We can’t wait to see what our Junior Sub School students achieve!
