Year 7

Special Report: Physical Activity and Exercise

As we embark on school holidays, it is a timely reminder of how important physical activity will be over this period.

Physical activity and exercise are not only vital to a child’s overall development but it has so many other benefits. With children spending more time on computers being sedentary, it is even more important to get kids moving more. As well as maintaining a healthy weight, it also improves concentration by helping to establish connections between different parts of the brain. It helps kids develop fundamental movement skills impacting positively on their confidence, self-esteem and ability to develop social skills. On an emotional level, it reduces stress and anxiety while improving posture and sleep. Physical activity and exercise are good for your child’s health, now and in the future. Parents should encourage their kids to move or play sport at every opportunity – in and out of school. Click here for the special report.

Yr 7 Mathematics

Students were working on a class challenge involving simplifying algebraic expressions. Each student was responsible for an individual question and then they had to combine their working as a group. This particular group was the winner of the class challenge. Congratulations!

To all of our students and families, take care, continue to follow the COVID-19 advice and enjoy time with your loved ones over the break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next term.
