Year 8

This Week

Congratulations to Cowper Blue for winning the Career’s Week Quiz prepared by Ms Simone Salier last week. They successfully matched the most number of teachers with their childhood career choice and enjoyed a celebratory morning tea including their favourite beverage – hot chocolate.

Thank you to all parents who have already given permission for their children to participate in Dear Australia, shared last week in Note Day. Students are working on this project during Tutor this week. 

Parents on Campus

In an effort to limit the amount of people coming into the school campus during the day, we are asking parents to not drop items off in the Secondary School Office or any office on school grounds. Yr 8 students should be responsible for their own items and we can usually assist with any issues if students communicate with their Tutor or Year Advisors. 

Lunch Orders – Canteen

Please remind your children that if they have any issues with lunch orders or cannot locate their lunch order to please speak with the Canteen Manager, Mr Joel Squire, or another Canteen staff member who will be able to address the issue. 

Photos

Students can still order photos.  Please send a message to enquiries@advancedlife.com.au. 

Parent Student Teacher Evening

Wednesday 5 August

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet all of your child’s teachers and to hear how your child is going in each subject. 

Returning to School

While students have been in school for over a week now, students are still readjusting to rules, home learning, class engagement, a busier schedule and social groups. This link provides parent support for students during this transition including: why going back to normal is challenging for some people, how to support worried children, reading the difference in signs between normal behaviour and concerning behaviour and how to help your child return to normal daily life.
