Orientation Day

This term has been extremely busy, led by the transition of 170 Year 6 students. The term started with the half day transitions days with all our partner primary schools, culminating on Tuesday 8 December with just over 150 students spending the day familiarising themselves with their new school and the amazing staff of Belridge SC.

Students participated in a range of activities across the day from Home Economics to Design and Technology, forging new friendships, which can only further develop over the next six years.

Belridge SC prides itself in the programs we put together to support our transitioning students, including Peer Support. We had over 30 Year 9 Belridge SC students assist throughout the day in making our newest students feel comfortable and supported. The day was a huge success thanks to the efforts of Narae Howard (Year 7 Coordinator 2021) and Phil Leenman (School Chaplain) along with our staff who ran activities and acted as tour guides to our new families.

Semester 2 Reports

Middle School reports (Years 7-10) will be emailed to parents/caregivers on Tuesday 15 December. I encourage parents and students to discuss this together, celebrate the achievement of goals and set new goals for 2021.

School resumes for students on Monday 1 February and it is hoped that each student has a goal of 90%+ attendance, as attendance at school is clearly linked to school achievement. Please consider this when making holiday plans.  Belridge SC continues to make progress to improve student attendance and we thank our College community for supporting us with this.

I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday break and I look forward to seeing everyone back in 2021.
