The Year 7 students started the day making their own candles with Ms Gill. The girls made the wax, chose their fragrance and designed their box. Throughout the day the students participated in team building activities on the oval and then drama activities. The day ended with the students knitting for the school knitting program.

Year 8 had an extremely successful Wellbeing Day at the end of Term 2. Attendance was at an all-time high and the students had a great morning continuing to work on their Growth Mindsets. In the afternoon, Year 8 visited Sky Zone Miranda and had a fantastic time jumping on the trampolines, completing an obstacle course and even playing a little dodge-ball!

The Year 9 students enjoyed the activities and engaged wholeheartedly in the day. In the morning, they were involved in a growth mindset presentation, crumpled paper activity as well as the spaghetti and marshmallow tower challenge. The second session was a round robin competition of badminton which was very competitive followed by an impromptu dance off. The last session was an Escape Fixed Mindset Challenge where the girls found clues of how to escape fixed mindset, answered questions and then found the code to unlock the bag for their prize. The students have requested a similar activity again. Year 9 worked well in their teams and appreciated the efforts made for them.
