This semester has been one of great learning, adjustment and exploration for our Year 7 students as they have navigated their way through their introduction to high school.  While the holidays are in the not too distant future, now is the time for our Year 7s to consolidate their learning through finalising assessment and demonstrating the growth and distance they have travelled this semester to both their teachers and their families though assessment results and report cards.

Due to the disruptions to our learning at the beginning of the semester, report cards will be issued early in Term 2, to allow our students the most time to effectively demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and abiliities. 

Student led conferences will take place in Week 3 of next term. There will be a quick turnaround between receiving reports and needing to have made appointments to meet with teachers. Please look out for this information when it is realised.

Next term, all Year 7 students will have some timetable changes as we rotate through our Social World Arts specialisation areas and our Technologies areas.  We will also have a small number of new staff joining the Foxwell team.  We look forward to introducing them to you next term.

Next week is a regular school week, with students continuing to engage in learning. We culminate our term with our first Athletics Carnival on site!  Parents will be welcome to attend on this day to watch.  

I take this opportunity to wish your families a happy and healthy well-deserved break over the June/July 2 week holiday period and I look forward to welcoming back our Year 7s, well rested and ready to embark on another exciting term of learning.

Year 7 Deputy Principal
