Dear Year 8 Families,
I hope this bulletin finds you well and rested after our winter break. I would like to take this moment to wish you a Happy New Year and share what we can look forward to in the term ahead!
By now, most students have had confirmation of their Year 9 options choices, and any outstanding will be confirmed in the coming week. Thank you for the time and consideration that you gave to the process. If there are any further issues/questions, please do reach out to me.
Of the upcoming events listed below, I’d like to highlight in particular the Year 8 Parent–Teacher–Student Conference (PTSC) on Thursday 22nd January. An email will be shared in the coming week that will allow you to log in and book appointments with your child’s teachers.
