Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to Year 7 at Hastings Secondary College! As we embark on this exciting journey together, we want to emphasise the importance of transition, support, and connection throughout the academic year.
Transitioning to Year 7 marks a significant milestone in your educational journey. It's a time filled with anticipation, new experiences, and the excitement of what lies ahead. We understand that this transition can sometimes feel overwhelming, but rest assured, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing you with the guidance and assistance you need to navigate this transition smoothly. Whether it's adjusting to a new schedule, understanding the expectations of secondary school, or simply finding your way around campus, we're here to help.
One valuable resource available to you is our team of Year Advisors. These experienced educators are here to serve as mentors and advocates, providing you with personalised support and guidance throughout the year. Whether you have questions about your classes, need advice on managing your workload, or simply want someone to talk to, your Year Advisor is here to help.
Furthermore, we want to emphasise the importance of reaching out for clarification on any matter. Whether it's a question about school work, policies, or extracurricular activities, we encourage you to speak up and ask for help. Our goal is to ensure that you have all the information you need to succeed, and we're here to provide it.
As we embark on this journey together, let's remember the power of connection and support. By working together as a community, we can overcome any challenges that come our way and achieve great things.
Once again, welcome to Year 7! Let's make this a year filled with growth, learning, and meaningful connections.
Warm regards,
Phil Harris
