Year 7

Tutor Time

During Tutor Time we are embarking on 10 minutes of reading or DEAR Drop Everything and Read. Yr 7 are requested to bring in a book to read each Tutor Time. Tutors will read with students, modelling reading for pleasure. It is hoped that this activity will help to develop a love of wide reading in our students. Students will need to bring in reading material this could be either fiction or non fiction and in any genre; science fiction, fantasy, autobiography etc.

Yr 9 Service Learning Project – Vinnies Drive 

The St Vincent de Paul Society assists people experiencing poverty and inequality and works to shape a more just and compassionate society. As part of Yr 9’s Service Learning Project, we are asking students across the School to bring in items to create personal hygiene bags for those in need. We hope that our Yr 7 students will support Yr 9 in this initiative. 

Donation items can include: Shampoo, conditioner, band aids, hand sanitiser, deodorant, soap or body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, small tissue packs, hairbrush, comb, hair ties, sanitary items (pads, tampons and panty liners). 

A collection box will be located in the Secondary School Office every day during Week 9-10 this term, where you are able to drop off your supplies.
