Year 8
Students continue with their educational journey by developing independence as they grow into young men and women. As they progress to a higher year level, more is expected from them. Many of the activities they do in this year level reflect this. In Term 3, the students participate in a snow adventure camp at Mount Buller where they will have the opportunity to undertake skiing lessons from instructors. Students also experience their first mixed age interschool sport, teaming up with Year 9 and working with them. Learning how to play competitively amongst many who are older, bigger and stronger is yet another part of the growing process.
Students discover that teachers expect more from them and begin to notice that their workload increases. They have more responsibility for completing their class and assignment work. Life in Year 8, however, also includes fun-filled activities and the annual end of year URBNSURF surfing experience is enjoyed by all. Students also celebrate the demands of assessment period with down time activities such as pancakes and hot chocolate breakfasts. By the end of Year 8, students are ready for the next stage of their journey and are equipped with the necessary skills needed for higher schooling education
