Year 7 – Term 3 Newsletter
Term 3 has been a term full of highlights in Year 7 at Greenvale Secondary College! Our Year 7 students have continued to grow as learners, and young people within our community, with plenty of achievements and memorable moments to celebrate.
One of the highlights was Book Week, where it was fantastic to see so many Year 7 students dressing up, getting involved and embracing the spirit of the week. The creativity and enthusiasm on display brought plenty of colour and energy to the school.
Our students also came together for R U OK? Day, recognising the importance of mental health, looking out for one another and understanding the value of a simple check-in. It was a great opportunity to reinforce the importance of connection, empathy and supporting those around us.
The Performing Arts Gala was another wonderful occasion. A huge congratulations and thank you goes to all of our Year 7 students who participated. It takes courage to perform in front of an audience, and we were incredibly proud to see our students showcasing their talents and representing the Year 7 cohort.
During Science Week, a select group of Year 7 students had the opportunity to participate in an excursion that extended their learning beyond the classroom. Experiences like these provide students with opportunities to explore their interests, ask questions and see how their classroom learning connects with the wider world.
A particularly exciting sporting achievement came from our Year 7 Boys Netball Team, who qualified for the State Championships. This is a significant milestone, as they are the first Greenvale Secondary College team to qualify for a State Championship. Congratulations to the players involved, we wish the boys all the best at the next level!
Perhaps most pleasing has been the continued growth we have seen across the entire Year 7 cohort. Throughout Term 3, there has been a decrease in minor behaviours, reflecting the positive choices our students are making each day. More and more, our Year 7s are demonstrating what it means to live the Greenvale Secondary College values of Teamwork, Excellence, Respect and Leadership.
As we head towards the final term of their first year of secondary school, we encourage our Year 7 students to continue building on this progress, supporting one another and making the most of every opportunity.
Well done, Year 7we are proud of your progress and look forward to an exciting Term 4.
