It has been a busy start to 2025 for Year Seven students at Reece High School. On Thursday the 6th of February, students arrived looking very smart in their school uniform and a little nervous about their first day of high school. As a team, we have been very impressed with how students have come to school ready to learn whilst demonstrating our school values. We have been very fortunate to have had some wonderful opportunities to participate in, learn from and make new connections with classmates during Beach Week and at the Surf Carnival where we learnt how to:

• be safe around water environments
• kayak
• use a surfboard
• accurately fit and use a PFD
• administer basic First Aid

On Wednesday, we welcomed many of our Year 7 families at the ‘Meet and Greet’ evening. It was wonderful to meet so many families and hear the level of support for our students. We look forward to continuing to work and communicate with families throughout the year.

A reminder of the expectation that all students are in all black school shoes as per our uniform policy. It has been great to see most families supporting this expectation. Also, I will be contacting families in the coming weeks to communicate the expectations of Year 7 camp which will be held in week 10.
