A Message from the Year 7 Leader of Wellbeing and Engagement
Madeleine Stoneman
Its been a busy few weeks for our Year 7 students and it’s fantastic to see the students immersing themselves in College life.
A highlight would have to be the swimming carnival where Year 7 showed great participation in all races and in particular the slip and slide! It was great to see so much enthusiasm, house spirit and comradery among our Year 7 cohort. I am very proud of the number of students in attendance at the carnival and the wonderful behaviour demonstrated, well done Year 7! Congratulations to the many students who won races, broke records and those who have qualified for the Dio swimming carnival.
Year 7 also participated in their first ‘Multi-Sport Cup’ in their LEA classes and showed great enthusiasm, a competitive nature and a willingness to adapt to change. It was great to see Year 7 working as a team, supporting each other and having fun as an LEA class with their committed teachers. Thank you for your efforts and I hope the competitive streak continues for our next Multi-Sport Cup.
Year 7 will commence NAPLAN on Wednesday 12 March. Please ensure your child has access to a charged laptop for these days to complete the assessments effectively. Please also reinforce to your child that there is no need to be worried, anxious and stressed about these assessments, they are purely a measure of how they are progressing. If you have any concerns regarding NAPLAN please contact myself or Matthew Klopper (Leader of Data Analytics).

A note about homework; if your child is expected to complete homework, this will be communicated to them directly via the classroom teacher. If you have any concerns around the distribution and competition of homework, please contact the classroom teacher. Assessment tasks will be separate to this with a set due date.
James Moore will be returning Monday 10 March, so please forward any wellbeing concerns to him from them on. It has been a privilege to support Year 7 commence their journey at CMCC and I look forward to watching their growth.
