Junior School News

Junior Sub School Leader

Term 4 has been a great term thus far with a few things coming up to keep an eye on as we near the end of the year. Students reports will be appearing in late December so please keep checking Compass after the school year has finished in order to read reports.

Our exams for Years 7 and 8 are next week. Our mainstream students will be doing English and Maths with our SEAL classes adding Science and Humanities as well. We will have our catch-up exams on Thursday and Friday.

Students need to check on Compass in regard to their activities. We are offering both internal and external activities for students after the STEM and swimming week. This will be terrific.

Looking forward to what the coming weeks will bring.
