We are delighted to welcome you and your children to Somerset College for an exciting new school year! On Tuesday 28 January 2025, we began the year with a vibrant balloon arch at drop-off, providing a wonderful photo opportunity for families and classes to capture those cherished first-day moments.
The start of the year has been bustling with activity. We were thrilled to see many excited faces as new students were warmly welcomed and friendships began to develop. Our students confidently navigated their new spaces, ready to embark on their learning journeys.
Our teaching staff hosted information afternoons on both Tuesday and Wednesday, providing parents with valuable insights into the upcoming year and the exciting learning experiences planned for our students.
A highlight of the first week was Somerset College’s Global Play Day on Thursday, 30 January. All Junior School students enjoyed a morning of unstructured play, which provided a fantastic opportunity to have fun with their new cohort. Our staff set up various play spaces, some including ball games, gymnastics, paper aeroplane throwing, board games, yoga, karaoke and visual art experiences. The day concluded with Year 4 to 6 students participating in swimming trials, gearing up for their Junior School Inter-House Swimming Carnival next week on Thursday, 6 February 2025.
On Friday, our Prep students marked a symbolic occasion with our Year 12 leaders by presenting them with their badges during the Year 12 Investiture Service, signifying the beginning of their leadership journey.
As we all catch our breath after such a busy and exciting start to the year, we look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences. Thank you for being part of the Somerset College community in 2025.
