Leaders of Student Wellbeing
Year 9
We’re pleased to share that Term 3 has kicked off with a positive and focused start across the year group. Students have returned with great energy, ready to engage in their learning and make the most of the term ahead.
A big congratulations to Jake Callander, Jasper Ferguson, and Miguel Mendoza, who have each received a College Commendation Award. Congratulations also goes to Grace Bjorksten who was our Best Allrounder last week. These awards recognise students who consistently demonstrate outstanding effort, leadership, and a positive attitude in and out of the classroom. Well done to these students for setting such a great example.
This term, our pastoral focus is on leadership and stewardship. This includes helping students explore what it means to lead with purpose and serve others, inspired by the model of Jesus in the Gospels. Through reflection and discussion, students will be encouraged to recognise the unique gifts, talents, and opportunities God has given them, and how these can be used to make a positive difference. Leadership comes in many forms. This can include leadership in the classroom, on the sporting field, in the playground, at home, or later in life as a parent or role model.
We are also looking forward to our Pastoral Day on Wednesday 6 August, which will be a key moment in our wellbeing calendar. The day will feature a range of engaging activities and workshops, including a special session with guest presenter Michael Fitzpatrick, known for his dynamic and inspiring presentations. It promises to be a valuable opportunity for students to reflect, connect, and grow.
We’re excited for what the rest of the term holds.
