Years 7, 8 and 9
Head of Department: Karen Zammit
As the Junior Secondary HOD at Craigslea SHS, my role is to support all
Year 7, 8 and 9 teachers and students in their educational experience and to
ensure the six Guiding Principles of Junior Secondary are embedded in our
everyday practice and pedagogy:
1. Distinct Identity
2. Quality Teaching
3. Student Wellbeing
4.
Leadership
5. Parent and Community Involvement
6.
Local Decision Making
I am one of the Core Year 7 teachers for English and Social Studies and Languages and also work
closely with the relevant Coordinators for each year level. Their role is to
support your child’s Form teacher in guiding their respective cohort
academically, socially and emotionally. The Year Level Coordinators are:
Year 8 - Mikaela McGreevy (mmcgr156@eq.edu.au)
These teachers develop
and implement fortnightly CAB lessons (Wednesday, period 3) which are designed
to develop student skills in relation to healthy habits, resilience, study
regimes, time management, cyber safety, goal setting and positive self-talk.
Information regarding Junior Secondary Classroom Procedures and Bookwork Standards is included in the
Student Planner (p.30).
For more detailed information about the principles and
processes that underpin our core business, please refer to our Junior Secondary Handbook.
