The first week of school is staggered so that Year 7 students start before any other year group, and we build up to a full school throughout the week
Extra assemblies, lineup practice and key culture-building activities that allow every new Year 7 student to make a smooth transition and feel part of the school community straight away in September
A celebration barbecue at the end of the first fortnight, where every Year 7 student is celebrated at a graduation ceremony, and every Year 7 family is invited to join us.
