On Friday 14 October, we welcomed new students for Year 7 2023 and our current Year 6 students transitioning to Senior School.
Students had a great day participating in a range of activities to get to know one another and encourage team building.
They also participated in activities that familiarised themselves with the Senior School buildings and teachings.
Here is what some of our students had to say about the day:
"I enjoyed the orientation day because of how we met new students" – Ryaan K.
"Year 7 orientation was a very fun and enjoyable experience! We went on a tour of the school and met lots of new teachers. The Senior School leaders were very supportive and made the day even better.' – Merona A. and Sophie I.
"Learning the high school timetable was helpful because it looked so confusing but when the high school leaders taught us it was easier to read and understand. It makes me feel a bit more prepared for next year" – Isaiah D.
"Year 7 Orientation was a pleasure. We got to know new students from other schools, went on a tour to see the Highschool area, ate sausage sizzles and played mini games. This was a fun experience and I can’t wait to start a new year!" - Lauren T 6B
"Year 7 Orientation was an amazing experience getting to see the different activities and subjects that they do in high school. Some of my favourite tasks were when we went on a tour around the college meeting some of the teachers and getting to learn how to read a timetable. - Mia S 6B
"Year 7 Orientation day was an amazing opportunity to make new friends, embrace the high school environment and prepare us for high school. The teachers were amazing and I can't wait for next year." - Anastasia B, 6B
"The experience was really interesting as it got us familiar with the new things that we’re going to do in Year 7, like reading a timetable. It was nice to walk around the Senior School and to meet our teachers for Year 7" - Rishab 6B
"Year 7, here we come! Highschool orientation taught us all about the fundamentals of senior school and how a typical day in classes will work. We welcomed new students into our school and met new teachers… and had heaps of fun popping balloons!" - Hannah G 6B
In the morning, the parents of this cohort were also at the College involved in an information session. This was a good opportunity for them to hear from our Senior Leadership team and also ask any questions that they had.
We look forward to their Senior School journey in 2023!
