Year 9 Newsletter Term 1

Our Year 9 students at Greenvale Secondary College have made a fantastic start to the year. It has been wonderful to see students returning with a positive attitude and a readiness to engage in their learning.

Students demonstrated excellent school spirit through their enthusiastic participation in both the Swimming Carnival and Athletics Carnival. These events highlighted not only their athletic abilities but also their teamwork and encouragement of peers.

In the classroom, students have shown strong engagement in their learning and have been working diligently to complete their Common Assessment Tasks (CATs). This commitment to academic progress has been particularly evident during the recent NAPLAN assessments, where students approached the tests with maturity and focus.

We are also proud of the way our Year 9 cohort continues to demonstrate our school values in their everyday actions, showing respect, responsibility, and a willingness to strive for excellence.

The Connect program has been another area of success, with students actively participating and making progress on their Personal Best Projects. These projects encourage goal setting, reflection, and personal growth—skills that are vital for lifelong learning.

It has also been pleasing to see many students working hard to earn Positive Recognitions, reflecting their consistent effort, positive behaviour, and contributions to the school community.

We look forward to continuing this momentum throughout the year and celebrating further achievements from our Year 9 students.
