Introduction to Year 7
It was wonderful to see so many families at the Introduction to Senior School morning on Friday 19 January. The families in attendance were introduced to their son’s form teacher and were provided with an insight into the day-to-day routine at Churchie. Students had the opportunity to meet their form teachers and peers in the classroom in preparation for their first day on Monday 22 January. Parents received presentations from Deputy Head of Senior School (Years 7 – 9) Berian Williams-Jones, Head of Year 7 Joe Hodges, School Captain Noah Monahan, Senior Chaplain The Reverend Sharon Mitchell, Head of Outdoor Education Jared Crunkhorn and Parent Connect President Emma Gasperini. The morning assisted in ensuring a smooth transition for both boys and families into the Senior School.
