CONNECT Coordinator Junior Sub School Leader
Term 2 is well underway, and it’s been a busy and productive start for our students in the Junior Sub School. With new student management team in place and a range of exciting events and milestones coming up, we’re proud of how our students are embracing opportunities for growth—both in and out of the classroom.
Junior Sub-School Team Member update

JSS Leader:

Year 7 Team:
- Year Level Coordinator (YLC): Janelle Butler

Year 8 Team:

This team is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment for all junior students.
Camp - Week 7
Our Junior Sub School camp is fast approaching in Week 7! This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build friendships, develop independence, and experience learning beyond the classroom.
Medical forms need to be returned to the office as soon as possible with any dietary information, the camp organisers need this to finalise correspondence with the camp providers.
A packing list will be distributed to students this week and all other updates will be communicated to them via their Google Classroom.
Exams
Exams are fast approaching. Timetables for these will be posted to Google Classroom and placed outside the Junior Sub School office.
Year 8 Exams will be held in Week 7, followed by Year 7 Exams in Week 8. This is a key opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and build exam confidence.
To support preparation:
- Begin revision early
- Speak with teachers for help or clarification
- Ensure you have all necessary stationery and materials
Encouraging healthy study habits and balance at home will go a long way in helping students feel confident and prepared.
Semester Change - Week 9
A reminder that Semester 2 begins in Week 9, bringing with it new electives and some timetable changes for students. We encourage all students to approach their new subjects with curiosity and a positive mindset.
Timetables will be uploaded on Compass in the coming weeks, and staff will be available to support students through the transition.
Progress Reports
Our Week 2 progress reports were released to students and families, and we want to celebrate the positive effort students are putting into their classroom environment and learning behaviours, we had 64 Year 7 students with a Grade Performance Average above 3.5 and 44 Year 8 students.
