Junior School
International Women’s Day 2025 celebrations last weekend provided the perfect opportunity to honour the remarkable women in our student’s lives. Students took the opportunity on Tuesday morning, to share a woman in their life who has inspired them. It was wonderful to see many Mothers, Aunties, Friends, Teachers and Carers being acknowledge for their contribution.
The start to the year has involved lots of exciting opportunities for our students to connect. A big thank you to our staff for facilitating a wonderful experience at CAMP Rumbug in week 3 of the term.
Year 7 Update
Our Year 7 students returned from Camp and have jumped into many activities and opportunities: joining clubs as a part of extra-curricular program, engaging in preparations for our year-level term assemblies next week, school production auditions and contributing to a number of fundraising activities for our Relay for Life Event that we are hosting this Saturday, 22nd March on the Auburn High School Oval. As our Year 7s adjust more into high school life, we are working diligently to support them to develop strong habits in the use of their diary. There are two ways that you can support this work from home:
- Ensure that students take their diaries home every night to check they are recording and completing homework
- Using their diary to ensure they are bringing the required materials to school: e.g. PE uniform or items needed for school events just as house colours
Year 8 Update
Our Year 8 students are in the full swing of term 1. It has been such a joy to sit in as a guest judge on students’ PE dance assessments! The creativity, courage and humility is high!
Our focus as a year level this term is to celebrate, recognise and reward our students for displaying our DARE values and demonstrating growth and persistence in their learning. Attending Tutor Group every morning is so important so that students have the opportunity to positively connect with their teacher and peers, feel organise and prepared for the day and be recognised for their achievements.
Year 9 Update
Our Year 9 students have returned from City Project, and it was a delight to watch their presentations last week and hear about their experiences and learnings. City Project is a highlight of our year 9 program, students spend a week in the city exploring a social or environmental issue in the broader Melbourne community. They conduct research, seek input from the Melbourne community and present their findings to their peers and families. Students also go on a number of excursions including Melbourne Magistrates Court, the Big Issue, Front Yard and hear from a number of speakers including the Police and adults who share their perspective on recovering from Gambling and being a Muslim in Melbourne.
NAPLAN:
Year 7&9 students commence NAPLAN on Thursday 13th March. Students have been engaging with NAPLAN based skills in their English and Maths classes and have had the opportunity to practice the use of this platform so that they are able to navigate the online platform with ease. I have been so pleased with the responsibility and aspiration demonstrated by our students during the testing period. Students who were absent form NAPLAN will have the opportunity to catch up on Friday 21st March and Monday 24th March.
