AROUND THE CLASSROOMS ➡ Year 10 Design and Technology students of Mr Munro have finished making their storage solution projects. Students had an open brief for what they could design as long as it was something for either a pet, themselves, a family member or the household. Students had a $40 budget between two students and could also use items they could find at school or home. The items had to be under 40cm. The students have made a wonderful range of storage solutions!

YEAR 7 PEER MENTORING 🥰 The Peer Mentoring Program continues with Year 7 students joining with their Year 10 Peer Mentors every Thursday afternoon. The program will continue through to the end of Term 2. Last week in their groups the students were looking at resilience and participating in activities with resilience the focus. “Resilience is an important skill to learn, whether it be with study, with friendship groups or a whole range of different situations,” says Peer Mentor Lyoni. The students played a game with cards which outlined a situation which might happen and the students needed to consider and discuss the positives which could come out of that situation.

YEAR 9 REFLECTION DAY ✝ Last Friday, Year 9 students came together for their Reflection Day. The day gave students the opportunity to come together as a Year Group, in small groups and individually, as they reflected upon their relationship with God and their family, friends and peers. Year 9 student Heidi S. said that she enjoyed the day as an opportunity to all come together. “As a grade, we prayed the Rosary, attended Mass, and reflected on how we can live in Mary's footsteps. The day encouraged us to grow in faith, but also support one another in doing the same.”
