Year 9

This Week in Yr 9

Week 7 has been particularly busy for Yr 9 with Assessment Task preparation and NAPLAN. At our Year Assembly today I spoke about setting a weekly Social and Emotional Goal under the heading of ‘Be a Good Human’. I spoke about why constantly wearing ‘Air Pods’ is not being connected to our environment, and how it is limiting Yr 9’s potential. Their task is to think about how they can communicate and connect with their peers without relying on technology. If your young person brings this up in conversation, it would be wonderful to listen to their perspective and talk about why this might be an important and supportive tool for them.

Thank You!

Thank you to the following Yr 9 students who have led prospective Yr 7 2025 students and parents on campus tours this week. They have represented the school with wonderful positivity and pride. 

Autumn Fair 

This Saturday is the long-awaited Autumn Fair which will be held in the Fahl Garden. A big thank you to all of our Yr 9 volunteers who will be assisting on Saturday. We look forward to seeing you there.

Make a splash for a great cause!

The Balmoral Swim Schools Relay Challenge is back! On Sunday 2 April from 8am-9am, local schools will come together to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute, increase awareness for this important cause, and most importantly, have fun participating in an open water swim relay.

Here’s how it works: each team consists of four swimmers, and each swimmer will swim a 200m leg of the relay. Participants can choose to swim in their year category or an older category, and the entry cost is just $20 per swimmer. 

Don’t want to swim? No problem – you can still support the cause by donating to the Redlands fundraising page to help raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute.  

This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, have some fun, and raise funds for a great cause. So, gather your teammates, come along to Balmoral Beach, and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.

We can’t wait to see everyone there! Register your team now and join in the fun!
