21.01.2022 At the start of Term 4, all Year 7 students will participate in an excursion to Hollybank Adventures, including a session on the High Ropes. On Friday 4th September, our Middle School staff spent their Professional Learning Day at Hollybank on the High Ropes. The purpose of both our Middle School staff and Year 7 students participating in these experiences is to build personal resilience, build relationships, build a positive culture and explore growth mindset. This video captures the experiences of our staff as they push themselves out of their comfort zones so that they are prepared to support our Year 7 students in doing the same.
