Transition for Year 6 students

During weeks 4 and 5, I enjoyed welcoming all our enrolled new Year 7 students for 2024. Each partner primary school students and out of area students attended the College for a half day transition. During the morning students took part in games, testing, a tour and an Amazing Race! Over 30 of our Year 9 Peer Support Leaders supported the transition and will also be familiar faces to welcome the current Year 6 students to the Orientation Day on Tuesday, 5 December and into Year 7 at the start of next year.

Enrolments for 2024

A final reminder that if you have a child in Year 6 at a local partner primary school, please complete their enrolment at the college to enable them to attend the Orientation Day on Tuesday, 5 December and Belridge Secondary College in 2024.

AEP showcase

It was a pleasure to attend the Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) showcase on Monday, 6 November. Mrs Claire Green and numerous AEP staff supported the Year 7-9 AEP students in researching and completing their projects based on sustainability. The students' imagination and projects were fantastic and a testament to the excellent teaching and learning that occurs in classrooms across the college every day.

2024 Timetable

We are currently finalising timetables and classes for students in 2024. If you have a specific, educational reason for your child to be placed in a specific class, please email the college as soon as possible.

Planner Wellbeing Focus

We have nearly completed a year of the Wellbeing Planner Weekly Focus. The purpose of the planners, emails and activities is to support students and teachers in cultivating a resilient state of wellbeing which enables students’ personal and academic growth. As a college, we strive to instil healthy wellbeing in all students where they feel optimistic and hopeful for today and for their futures because they know that they are working towards becoming their best thriving selves.

Research shows that students who participate in rigorously designed social and emotional learning programs demonstrate more positive social behaviour, are less likely to engage in risky and disruptive behaviour and show improved academic outcomes. Please discuss the planner focus each week with your child to further support their wellbeing at home.
