Junior Campus Action
Term 3 is always a busy time at the Junior Campus. In the last few weeks alone students have been involved in:
- Diverse Learners’ Week
- Wear it Purple Day
- City of Monash Waste Audit
- Year 7 Swim/Gym program
- Year 8 Self-Defence Bounce Program
- Global Youth Forum
- Book Week
- Go For IT Girl program at Deakin University
- College Production ‘Split Earth’
- English poet Incursion
In addition to the above, there have also been a number of sports teams training for their upcoming events, not to mention some amazing academic achievements happening in our classrooms.
We are very proud of our ability to offer so many opportunities to our students, and appreciate all of their efforts.
Recently a group of 17 Year 10s and 11s returned from an amazing expedition to Borneo, where they completed a community project, as well as some sight-seeing. Next week, our YMesear 8s will hear from this group, in preparation for our proposed trip in 2027. Look out for more information coming soon.
Message from our Nurses
This is a friendly reminder on what the protocol is for when your child is feeling unwell and would like to go home.
Should your child fall ill during the day they must attend the First Aid Office on their respective campus for care. The Nurse will then assess them and if they are deemed too unwell to be at school, you will be contacted by the Nurse to arrange for a pick up. If your child is under 16 years of age they will need to be physically picked up and signed out from school, they are not to be leaving school grounds without being picked up by an adult.
Students should not be using any form of electronic device (mobile, laptop etc.) to contact their own parents/carers for arrangement of pick up. If this occurs we request your support to direct them to the Nurse. We would also ask for your cooperation in not sending your child to school if they are unwell, please do not give them medication to reduce fever and symptoms of viral illness before school in the hope that they can ‘push through’ the day. This will assist us in reducing the spread of illness at school and help your child recover and to feel their best whilst learning.
