SETON SEASONAL
HELLO FROM MR WALLACE
As the summer season draws to a close, I take pride in reviewing the vibrant array of extracurricular events and activities that unfolded during Term 1 of 2025 The school is proud to offer a holistic education that extends beyond academics, and these events have highlighted the diverse range of opportunities available to students
Orientation Week and Year 7 Induction Day welcomed new students and Year 7s to the school, providing team-building games, campus tours, and information sessions to help students feel supported as they transitioned into a new environment
The Inter-House Swimming Carnival brought the school community together for a fun-filled day of swimming, cheering, and friendly competition, while SASJ Inter-School sports provided opportunities for students to compete in a range of sports and develop their teamwork and leadership skills
Fun beach games at the end of Year 7 Orientation Week
division, they put in another incredible effort, finishing second in their new division
Finally, lunchtime clubs like Friday Fitness Club, Art Club, and Dungeons and Dragons Club have given students the chance to pursue their interests and connect with likeminded peers Our after-school tutoring sessions in Maths, Science, HASS and English have also been very busy
Overall, the events and activities of Term 1 have made it a very busy and happy campus and we look forward to what Term 2 will bring!
