Yr 12 Pizza and PJ Day
As we approach the halfway point of their Year 12 journey, we are organizing a “Pizza and PJ Day” for Year 12 tomorrow, to commend their hard work and dedication, specifically throughout the Trial Exam period.
Year 12 will enjoy a delicious pizza lunch on the Learning Hub Rooftop and use this time to connect outside of the classroom. Wearing pyjamas will add a casual and comfortable touch to the event, creating a unique and enjoyable atmosphere.
The Pizza and PJ Day holds significance as it not only marks the completion of their Trial Exams but also symbolises the halfway point in their Year 12 journey. It’s an opportunity for Year 12 to come together and foster a sense of camaraderie, recognising the efforts our Year 12s have put into their senior studies.
