WATERFORD AWARDS

On Monday 13 November, the Waterford sub-school had our final assembly for the year. We were entertained by the Intermediate band who did an outstanding job of performing ‘The Greatest Show.’ It was an insightful opportunity for the students to learn about the new timetable structure for Waterford and Westcourt from Deputy Principal of learning, Lisa Pope. Our Deputy Principal of wellbeing, Mark Kennedy informed the students of some important leadership changes for 2024 and the importance of maintaining high standards for the remainder of the school year.

We were proud to see so many of our students receive recognition for their learning achievements throughout the Semester. Isaac Holt from 8D was awarded with the Waterford Australian Maths Competition Award for being ‘Best in School.’ We presented a large number of distinction awards from the Australian Maths Competition with more certificates to be handed out at year level gatherings.

Hector De Leiros from 8I was presented with the Waterford Writing Award after being judged the best writer in Year 8 for his Hunt for the Wilderpeople essay.

Taha Pourpapi from 8K was recognised for coming fourth in Victoria for the Italian Poetry.Competition. Further certificates will be awarded at year level gatherings.

Year 7 and 8 Year Level Coordinators recognised students who were consistently demonstrating our school values with Year Level Coordinator and Waterford Awards.

Finally, we presented badges to the Westcourt leaders for 2024. We wish you well in these roles.

We wish our Year 8 students the very best for their transition to the Westcourt Campus. We will miss you here at Edmund Rice Campus and look forward to seeing you return as Year 10 students in Mt Sion in 2025. We also look forward to our continuing work with Year 7 students as they transition to Year 8.
