Year 8

Welcome

This term, we have two new students in Yr 8 – Sasha Jansz and Zaynah Ali. We warmly welcome them and their families to Redlands.

Pastoral Care

In Tutor Time this week, Tutors have been working with students to discuss their Approach to Learning grades from Term 1, and to establish goals for the coming term. During Tuesday’s Year Assembly, I spoke with the cohort about the need to continue to hold oneself to the highest standards all throughout the school year, and not to let our motivation or focus lull between assessments or after examinations. We also conducted a uniform check, and have asked students to remedy any uniform problems by Monday of next week. Some boys will need their hair cut, and quite a number of girls will need their hems lowered or new skirts procured.

Student Achievements

A special commendation to Alex Gibbs and Max Muller, who participated in a challenging Scouting activity in the Wingello State Forest last weekend. This challenge included lightweight hiking, orienteering, navigation and logistical organisation. The boys did extremely well in this challenge, and they are commended on their engagement and involvement in the Scouts, which will furnish them with a myriad of useful skills and confidences for the future. Well done Alex and Max!
