The Year 7 Values Assembly is an important part our college culture as students nominate each other for demonstrating two of our core college values of Compassion and Respect. Each Year 7 student is asked to put forward as many students as they can think of, who have shown compassion to staff and students on a regular basis, and students who are respectful in their interactions with others. These awards have a big impact on students as they are nominated by their peers. The awards are handed out during our special Year 7 Values Assembly, to celebrate these wonderful achievements. When students nominate each other, they also relay some of the fabulous ways that students demonstrate these values. Here are some of the standout stories from Year 7 students:
