As always, the Junior School has been busy and productive in Term 3.
The Junior School students enjoyed an incursion from Brainstorm Productions, entitled ‘Verbal Combat’. This 2-person theatre production centred on the experiences of a student joining a new school and the issues that they faced upon their arrival. The production dramatized the impact that intrusive classmates and the online environment can have on a person who is already in an uncertain environment. Verbal Combat illustrated that online bullying, physical vandalism and mental stress can have disastrous consequences. However, it also showed that where students make different choices, and choose a positive behaviour, the outcomes can be very different indeed. I think it was a salutary lesson that being an upstander and making better choices can have a positive impact on many people.
Please ensure that you read through the Progress Reports, which were published on Compass recently. For many students it will be positive reinforcement of all the good work that they have done in 2026. For a small number it will be a reminder that although the year is well advanced, there is still time to catch up and submit some good quality work before the final reports in Term 4.
Enjoy the term break and we look forward to seeing the students in Term 4.
