Dear parents and guardians,

The Year 8 students have had a fantastic term, embracing opportunities to get involved, challenge themselves and demonstrate our school values. Students proudly represented the school in interschool sport, competing in AFL and soccer and showing fantastic teamwork, respect and sportsmanship. It has been wonderful to see students encouraging one another, working together and giving their best effort, regardless of the result. These experiences are a great reminder that leadership and teamwork are not just about being the best, but about supporting others and representing our school with pride. 

Another highlight was an important and engaging presentation from the Pat Cronin Foundation. Students had the opportunity to learn about the importance of making positive choices, looking out for others and understanding the impact that our decisions can have. The presentation encouraged students to reflect on how they can demonstrate respect and leadership in their everyday lives, both at school and within the wider community. 

As we look towards 2027, Year 8 students have also been busy thinking about their future and making their elective choices for Year 9. This is an exciting opportunity for students to explore new interests, develop their skills and take greater ownership of their learning. Across the term, our Year 8s have continued to demonstrate our school values of Respect, Leadership, Teamwork and Excellence, and I look forward to seeing them continue to grow and thrive as they prepare for the next stage of their secondary schooling. 

Have a wonderful break and we will see everyone safe and rested in Term Four.  

Kind regards,

The Year Eight Team
