On Thursday, October 15th, the entire Year 12 cohort came together to host a vibrant afternoon of Wellbeing activities for our Year 7 students during their Thrive classes.
Designed to foster connection, team spirit, and school pride, the event saw Year 7 groups moving all around the campus to tackle various activity stations. Station leaders from Year 12 guided the younger students through tasks ranging from exploring Island School’s rich history and core values to engaging in fun, collaborative team challenges. Along the way, Year 7s gathered key clues at each stop, supported by Year 12 mentors who helped them navigate the school and work together effectively.
The excitement reached its peak at the end of the session when all groups gathered back in the Sports Hall. Combining all the clues they had collected throughout the afternoon, the students joined forces to solve the ultimate final puzzle. It was a rewarding experience on all sides: the Year 12s gained invaluable hands-on leadership, planning, and teamwork skills, while the Year 7s had a fantastic time making new friends and deepening their understanding of our school community. In fact, the only downside of the entire event was that it had to end too soon!
A massive thank you to our Year 12 cohort for their dedication and enthusiasm in making this Thrive event such a resounding success.
