The Year 8 students have had a great start to the year, displaying their enthusiasm, resilience and growing connection. The House Swimming Carnival in late February provided a fantastic display of teamwork, determination and House spirit. Whether in the pool competing or cheering on their peers, students embodied our values of participation and encouragement, strengthening their ties to their House and school community.
Another meaningful event this term was the Father Figure and Daughter Evening, facilitated by Dr Kelly Harris from Time & Space. This program provided a structured opportunity for students and their father figures to engage in open conversations and was designed to deepen their understanding of each other's experiences. The activities on the night encouraged participants to share stories and reflect on their journeys, fostering empathy and strengthening bonds. The evening highlighted the importance of relationships and support within families and has become a treasured memory for all who participated.
Following on from the Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews earlier this week, students are encouraged to take time to reflect on the feedback discussed and use it to set meaningful goals for Term 2. This is an important opportunity for students to take ownership of their learning and strive for continued growth. A reminder that the second round of Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews is scheduled for Wednesday 23 April, and bookings are still open.
As we approach the Easter season, we wish all our students and families a joyful and safe break. May this time be filled with rest, reflection, and renewal, ready for a wonderful Term 2 ahead.
