Hello families
As we step into the second half of Term 3, Wati House can be proud of the journey we’ve taken so far this term. The past six weeks have brought with them both challenges and moments of real growth, and now is the perfect opportunity to reflect on our progress while sharpening our focus for the weeks ahead.
I have been especially proud of the maturity and approach to our new PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) focus on routines and active listening. Two seemingly simple habits that, when done consistently, that have the power to transform not only our own learning but also the experience of those around us. The maturity of Year 7 and Year 8 gives me confidence that as a House, that we are more than capable of taking this focus seriously and turning it into daily action and habits in our CMCC community.

Year 7 Highlight from Mr Moore
This term, our Year 7 theme of Stewardship continues to guide our learning and daily practice. Students are being reminded that Stewardship is not only about caring for their own gifts, but also about sharing those gifts with others in ways that leave a positive impact.
In LEA, students are currently working on Mini Projects that bring Stewardship to life. These projects provide them with opportunities to use their creativity and initiative to make a difference in meaningful and practical ways.
To further inspire our theme, we are drawing on Beyoncé’s song “I Was Here,” which reflects leaving a positive mark on the world. Our goal is to perform this piece as a Year 7 cohort at the end-of-term House Assembly. Any students with/or without musical experience, whether in singing, playing an instrument, or performance are encouraged to see Mr Moore if they would like to be involved.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you, the parents, for your continued support in encouraging students to follow the uniform policy. Wearing the uniform with pride reflects respect for themselves, their peers, and the school community, and I greatly appreciate the role families play in reinforcing these expectations.
I look forward to seeing how our Year 7 students continue to grow as active stewards who make a difference in the lives of others.
Mr Moore
