The Junior School students are finishing off the yearly strongly. It is encouraging to see so many students wearing their uniforms correctly and attending all classes on time and with the correct equipment.
All families should take the time to review the Semester Reports together. Whilst it is understandable that many people simply focus on the grades and the marks, it is important to see the connection between attendance, prepared for learning goals and work habits. It is the effort and attendance which drives the grades and marks. If attendance, prepared for learning goals and work habits are the best that can be achieved, then the grades and marks will follow.
The Junior School welcomed the new year 7s of 2025 into the school on 10 December. The students displayed a mix of nervous excitement and unbridled enthusiasm. The new year 7s are a big cohort, with over 300 students attending St Albans next year. We look forward to being part of the journey for these young people.
The proactive program continues through to the end of the year. Could we ask that all parents, carers and guardians pay special attention to Compass at this time of year as there are a number of events that require their consent.
On behalf of the Junior Subschool I would like to wish all students and their families a safe and enjoyable holiday period. It can be a stressful time as well, so I ask that everybody looks after themselves and come back refreshed and rejuvenated for the challenges in 2025.
Mr Craig Moore – Junior Sub School Leader
