year 8 report<br />

The year has progressed<br />

very quickly and <strong>the</strong><br />

‘newbie’ Year 8s<br />

are now well seas<strong>on</strong>ed high<br />

school <str<strong>on</strong>g>students</str<strong>on</strong>g>. The initial<br />

nerves and anxieties have l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

since disappeared. It’s now <strong>the</strong><br />

downhill stretch to <strong>the</strong> end of<br />

<strong>the</strong> year but we shouldn’t get<br />

too laid back, as <strong>the</strong>re are many<br />

more weeks of learning and<br />

assessments to go.<br />

However it’s not ‘all work and<br />

no play’. At <strong>the</strong> end of Semester Reward Activities, <strong>the</strong><br />

Year 8s spent <strong>the</strong> day at Perth Zoo. This outing provided an<br />

opportunity for <str<strong>on</strong>g>students</str<strong>on</strong>g> to interact and b<strong>on</strong>d with <strong>the</strong>ir form<br />

teachers in a n<strong>on</strong> academic envir<strong>on</strong>ment.<br />

Later this term <strong>the</strong> Year 8s will be provided with opportunities<br />

to participate in lunch time inter-house House Events and<br />

Competiti<strong>on</strong>s that will be organised and run by <strong>the</strong> Year 11<br />

mentors. Students should keep <strong>the</strong>ir ears and eyes open for<br />

news and announcements calling for teams and volunteers.<br />

In a recent assembly, Year Coordinator Awards were<br />

presented to outstanding <str<strong>on</strong>g>students</str<strong>on</strong>g> who dem<strong>on</strong>strated above<br />

average community spirit and / or pers<strong>on</strong>al qualities that value<br />

add to <str<strong>on</strong>g>our</str<strong>on</strong>g> social and academic lives here at <strong>Churchlands</strong><br />

SHS. They were: Tristan Tan, Sophie Ibbits<strong>on</strong>, Heer Gudka,<br />

Tamika Reid, Rivers<strong>on</strong> Robbins and Anri Barnard.<br />
