PRIMARY SCHOOL

Dear Primary Parents,

The middle of term 2 is always a challenging period. With students deep in their learning and crucial assessments lined up, we encourage all our students to prioritize their well-being. Please ensure they get adequate rest, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and reach out to their teachers if any support is needed.

On a brighter note, we are thrilled to celebrate the numerous achievements of our students. Witnessing our children accomplish more each day fills us with pride. Their dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm are truly commendable.

Kind Regards,

Lavesa Devnani, Primary Principal

SECONDARY SCHOOL

Dear Global Jaya Secondary Community,

In our advisory classes, students are provided with the opportunity to fill out a Wellbeing Thermometer. This is a tool that helps us support students who might be struggling at school for a variety of reasons, including feeling overwhelmed with school work or facing friend group challenges. Please help us by reminding your children that the school has tools and resources available to support our students when they find school to be a challenge. Our goal, as always, is to help our students balance their wellbeing with their focus on academic excellence.

On a different note, we have three weeks until the end of semester one, so please make sure you are aware of the many activities and events taking place at the school highlighted below.

Sincerely,
