Year 7 have settled well into their new school and are hard at work.
This year sees stage 4 (Years 7 and 8) consisting of three classes. We have a class T, which consists of independent workers and then have two classes of U and M, which are ungraded and based on social fit. So far this is working well and we look forward to their progress.
Last Thursday evening, 2 February, an information evening and barbecue was held for parents and students of Year 7. This was well attended and afforded the opportunity to meet with staff who will be teaching year 7 students.
Each teacher was given the opportunity to outline what their roles will be and newcomers to the School, Mrs Palmer (Head Teacher Science) and Miss Grimm (English) were welcomed.
Our very talented Year 11/12 Hospitality class prepared the wonderful salads and the barbecue was ably cooked by Dave Crelley.
Mrs Jackson and Mrs Crelley were very excited to hand out the "Welcome to Tumbarumba High School" bags which were filled with goodies generously supplied by Tumbarumba Newsagency and Tumbarumba IGA. These bags were quickly checked out by the Year 7 students.
