Year 8

Welcome from the Head of Year

Year 8 is a pivotal year in your child's school journey. It marks a transition from being one of the youngest year groups to stepping up as role models for others in the school community. This is a time for our students to grow not only in their academic abilities but also in their character and leadership skills. 

At our school, we have three core expectations for our Year 8 students: 

Be Kind: We believe that kindness is the foundation of a strong community. We encourage our students to show empathy and support for one another, fostering an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. 

Work Hard: Commitment and dedication are key to achieving personal and academic goals. We expect our students to put forth their best effort in all they do, understanding that perseverance and a positive attitude are crucial to success. 

Make a Difference: Year 8 students are encouraged to contribute positively to the school and beyond. Whether it's through leadership roles, participating in community service, or simply being a good friend, we want them to recognize the impact they can have on those around them. 

Mrs. Fallows and I have high hopes for Year 8. We are confident that with the right attitude and effort, our students can achieve great things and set a positive example for others to follow. We look forward to supporting them every step of the way and witnessing their growth and achievements throughout the year. 

Here's to a fantastic year ahead.
