Grade 6 to 7 Orientation Today’s Orientation Day was a great success. Students started the day by meeting
with the College Principal Mr Honeywell in the Hall. After a big day of activities
experiencing all subjects taught at Secondary school the day ended with a Year
Level Assembly and presentation by Ms McArthur who spent the day capturing
pictures of our activities.
We look forward to meeting our Class of 2015. It will be an exciting day for Grade
6 students who will meet many new faces and experience a taste of their new
Secondary School.
Again this year we have been running the Grade 6 Wellbeing Transition Program
which has been another huge success seeing the students becoming familiar and
settled with the staff and school surroundings. A big thank you to the City of
Greater Geelong for supporting the program.
