From Year 8
Welcome back to term 2!
The Year 8 students have certainly started Term 2 energised and refreshed. With an entire term completed in Year 8, students should feel more confident within their pastoral group, subject classes and understand each subject teacher’s and the college’s expectations. Therefore, what should students’ priorities be for the next 9 weeks. Term 2 is a perfect opportunity to turn dreams into reality!
Hopefully by now all students should have taken the time to read their subject teacher’s feedback from assessments and have a clear understanding as to what improvements require focus. This is timely, because personally evaluating where one is at can also assist in strategizing for success in the future. So, how does one do this? It could mean undertaking to ask questions or participating positively in class, or allocating more time to answering math problems, learning language vocabulary, or exploring further a particular topic by reading and researching for general knowledge. The possibilities are numerous and exciting.

During Term 1 I was able to ease into the role of year 8 Verdon house captain. Now that term 2 has officially commenced I can continue to adjust to the role, connect with peers and gain new friendships with others.
