Galen welcomes new Year 7s
Galen Catholic College proudly welcomed the new Year 7 cohort for their first day of secondary school on Thursday 28th January. Unlike previous years, for many students this was their first day on campus as the Transition Program wasn’t able to run as usual due to COVID-19 restrictions last year. However, students felt at ease thanks to virtual walkthroughs and ‘get to know us’ videos compiled by Galen staff last year. Tom Wiedemann, Olivia Fahey-Pyle, Leila Gephart
and Talon Farrell mentioned that despite some initial nerves, these were quickly settled once they were shown around by their Homeroom Mentors and once they got to know other students in their homeroom. The group mentioned that they look forward to meeting more new students and teachers over the coming weeks and of course experiencing the many subjects and extra-curricular activities on offer.
