Year 7

This Week

In Tutor this week, students brought a question for their first round of student led Tutorial sessions. Many students used this time very effectively, actively engaged with their peers, utilised the white boards to demonstrate their thinking and worked through their own questions. We are looking forward to another round next week. 

Congratulations to our Yr 7 ISA Cross Country runners! Our Redlands girls made history with the first Overall Girls 1st place position with our Junior Girls coming in 1st as well. Our boys also did an incredible job, earning 4th position in the Junior Boys competition.

Last Friday night, we were all inspired by the talent we have among our students as highlighted at Gala Arts showcase. Several of our Yr 7 students had artwork chosen for the event and we will share pictures in our next week’s edition of Note Day.

Term 2 Pastoral Care: Hitting Our Stride

This term, students will be focusing on refining their habits, study skills and other tools for success by revisiting many ideas introduced to them in Term 1 and adding a few new ones to their repertoire. The Yr 7 Pastoral Program has been designed to include strategies and ideas from: Burn Bright Program, Pru Salter’s Study Skills, 7 Habits of  Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey and feedback from our wonderful Yr 7 cohort.  A snapshot of our program each week includes:
