Year 8 Smashed Incursion

Year 8 students recently participated in the Smashed incursion, an engaging and hard-hitting, interactive program that explored the life-changing effects of alcohol.

Through a powerful multi-media performance, students followed the story of three friends who found themselves in trouble after misusing alcohol. The session highlighted the impact of underage drinking on health, safety, relationships, and future aspirations.

An interactive workshop followed the performance, allowing students to work with the cast to discuss peer pressure and explore positive choices that could change the outcome for the characters.

Feedback from the day was overwhelmingly positive — students found it both thought-provoking and relevant to real-life situations.

Activities Week

Information about Activities Week has now been shared with students, including details about the activities on offer, sign-up dates, and how to register.
It’s very important that students follow the sign-up process and meet all deadlines, as some activities have limited numbers. Being organised will give students the best chance of securing their first preference.
Activities Week is always a highlight of the year — a fantastic way to celebrate student success and growth while enjoying fun and engaging experiences with friends.

Exams

Year 7 and 8 exams will take place during Week 8. The exam timetable has been posted on Google Classroom and displayed in the Junior Sub School area.
Students are reminded to come prepared with the correct materials and to continue their revision to showcase the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the year.

Swimming and STEM Programs

During Week 9, Year 7 and 8 students will participate in the Swimming Program, which is part of the Physical Education curriculum. Permissions are available on Compass, and participation in this program is vital for developing important water safety skills ahead of summer.

At the same time, Year 8 students will take part in the STEM Program, an annual highlight that promotes creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. It’s always inspiring to see the innovative projects and teamwork that come out of this program.
