They say time flies when you’re having fun, we must be having a lot of fun in the Junior School as it seems the year is flying by. We are on the downhill slope towards the end of the term and there’s still a lot to get done in that time.
A highlight this term was the Athletics Carnival that occurred in week 2. It was really pleasing to see many Year 7 and 8 students competing for their house and cheering on other students competing. Photos of the day are included in this report.
Prior to ANZAC Day the College participated in a whole school assembly, the assembly recognised the importance of ANZAC Day but also celebrated achievements of school occurrences and a fantastic solo violin performance by Alya Esen in Year 8. Photos of the assembly are included in this report.
Students have been working well in class and are preparing for CATs these will appear on their mid-year report which will be out at the end of the term.
EXCURSIONS
It is very nice to be able to go out and experience excursions visiting other venues is a great way to boost the teaching and learning that happens here at Greenvale Secondary College. It is also a great way to extend or enhance the programs that are occurring at the school. A recent excursion was a QV Escape Room which gave students in year 7 and 8 the opportunity to apply logic problem solving to get through the escape room challenges.
This term in the Junior School we have had a big push on displaying the school values and receiving a positive recognition. Each week there has been a challenge to see which mentor group has the highest number of Positive Recognitions and which student has the most. It’s really pleasing to see the students have responded well to this and the numbers of Positive Recognitions be high.
