Heads of Year Reports

Year 7 and 8

Ms Taryn Sephton

Head of Year 7 and 8

The much-anticipated Year 8 social event was held after School on Thursday 2 March at Strike Bowling, Forrest Chase.

With many new students joining our School this year the purpose of the event was to continue to support both new and returning students in building connections and friendships.

Upon arrival at the venue, the cohort split into two groups. One group donned fluorescent bowling shoes and took to the lanes with enthusiasm. The second group challenged their friends on the arcade games with virtual reality headsets, basketball throw and the strength test sparking a healthy competition amongst the year group.

We took a short break midway through the evening and the students were able to enjoy pizza and hot chips, washed down with soft drinks, before the groups swapped activities.

Year 9 and 10

Miss Katie Wilkinson

Head of Year 9 and 10

Somehow, we are at the halfway point of Term 1!

Year 9 and 10 students are fully in the groove of being back at school, and with assessments coming in thick and fast, it seems to be a busy time for everyone. Whilst our students are working hard, revising, and completing homework, I wanted to say thank you for all of your support in helping them with preparation for tests. If we can ever do anything to help, please do reach out.

A great moment in particular was seeing our Year 10 students going to the Holocaust Institute of WA. They were able to get out of

Year 11 and 12

Mrs Ingrid May

Head of Year 11 and 12

We are already halfway through Term 1 and our Year 11 and 12 students have completed their first assessments. It is an essential milestone for their academic journey, and I am delighted with their progress so far.

I encourage all students to take the time to review their scores, reflect on the feedback provided by their teachers, and adjust their learning goals accordingly. These assessments provide an opportunity for our students to take ownership of their learning, identify areas of strength and weakness and make necessary the classroom and be amongst experts in field, an important moment for our students. I hope this encouraged some time to reflect, listen and learn. adjustments to ensure academic success. Making effective use of their study periods here at school is crucial in Year 11 and 12 and I encourage all of the students to focus their energies in the next few weeks to ensuring their use these precious periods to their advantage.

Our Year 8 students enjoyed this fun-filled event, and it was wonderful to witness the respectful and inclusive nature with which they conducted themselves.

As a school community, we are committed to providing our students with the necessary support and resources to excel in their studies. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to seeing them achieve their full potential.
