Junior Sub School

As we move through Week 8, it has been wonderful to see so many students demonstrating our school values and striving for success in their learning. During the month of May, students received more than 1,000 positive acknowledgements on Compass, including five students who received more than 10 positive acknowledgements throughout the month. Our Term 2, Week 6 Progress Reports also highlighted outstanding achievement, with 90 students attaining an average score above 3.5. Congratulations to the following students who achieved a perfect score:

• Maddison McKenzie
• Anurodh Adhikari
• Madelena Bienfait
• Heldana John

The Junior Sub School Team would like to congratulate all students who have received positive Compass entries and strong Progress Report results throughout the term. These acknowledgements reflect the hard work, persistence and positive attitudes that students bring to school each day.

Examinations

A special congratulations goes to our Year 7 and Year 8 students, who have recently completed their Semester One Examinations. For many students, this was their first experience of formal exams, and they approached the challenge with maturity and determination. The examination process provides valuable preparation for future years of schooling and helps students develop important study and organisational skills.

Now that exams have concluded, Mathematics and English homework sheets are back up and running. We encourage students to complete these regularly to reinforce classroom learning and build confidence in key skills. Spare copies are available from the Junior Sub School for any students who require them.

Consent Labs Incursion

Our Year 8 students recently participated in the Consent Labs Incursion. This engaging and informative program provided students with the opportunity to explore respectful relationships, communication, boundaries and consent in an age-appropriate and meaningful way. We thank our students for their thoughtful participation and respectful engagement throughout the sessions.
