Today marks the halfway point of the term; only 25 school days until the end of Year 7.

We do, however still have a lot to do before we can take our much-deserved summer break. We are heading back into drafting, editing and assessment time in all classes so it is important to stay focused, organised and keep our goals in mind. Please remember to communicate with your teachers if you have any questions or need any extra help on assessments as they will be more than willing to help you.

Soon, we can take the opportunity to reflect on the fantastic year that we have had in our first year of high school. I look forward to our upcoming Celebration of Success ceremony where the hard work of our students will be recognised and celebrated in our community. I am so proud of all our achievements this year: in the classroom, on the sporting fields, the stages, the tournaments and out in our community.

With the weather getting warmer I just want to remind students to stay hydrated. Get in the habit of carrying a drink bottle with you so that you are not interrupting your learning time when getting a drink. Hats are a must if playing outside and where possible seek shade for your lunchtime activities. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind students and families that it is not appropriate to engage in “water fights” at Foxwell. As outlined on our most recent year level assembly, there will be consequences put in place for students who engage in these sorts of activities moving forward.
