Year 7 Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back to all staff, students and parents to Term 2. I am very pleased that we were able to welcome back our Year 7 students face-to-face at the start of term.Â
Year 7s have made an incredible start to their high school careers and have much to celebrate, most notably the successful completion of their Term 1 Discovery projects.Â
Some special mentions include:
- Sadie Marr & Rico Leung; overall winners of the Year 7 House Swimming CompetitionÂ
- Erika Irwin, Jayden Cheung, Esther Chan and Abigail Choy; top scorers for the Education Perfect Global Language Championship
Tutor time
1:1 tutoring continues each morning, and your child’s tutor will have informed them when to attend. This provides an opportunity for the tutor to discuss any difficulties, provide support or just get to know their tutees better.
House Events
With the level of restrictions currently in place, we are not able to run full House events, however, that has not stopped our House Captains in introducing some house challenges that can be completed in our Year Group bubble and online; developing a house slogan, a house chant and a house logo which have proved to be the most exciting and competitive competitions yet!
SMART targets
The start of the term is also a great opportunity to review the student-led SMART targets. Building on what they achieved last term is important, and by setting their own targets, students tend to be more motivated to strive towards them. It is important that these are realistic, and I will be discussing them with students in the coming weeks.
Lunch Guidelines​​
​​To accommodate the Education Bureau guidelines requirements about students eating arrangements at lunchtime, we will have two sittings when children are in school, with set year groups having their lunch at certain times. Year 7s will be eating lunch in the Globe between 1.50pm–2.15pm.
Uniform/hair
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all students of the expectations of uniform. Particular reminders are that students have plain black school shoes and school hoodies, jumpers and jackets.Â
Key dates
- Strength and Target Reports: Monday 21st March 2022
- Parents Evening: Thursday 24th March 2022
Thank you for your continued support with the Year 7 students. They have settled into Term 2 with renewed focus, determination and passion, which I hope will carry them through to the end of the year.Â
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Shelby Smal
