The all-important Year 7
Year 7 is a crucial stage in education with students going through major physical, social and emotional changes. “Students need to be treated differently at the intermediate age,” says ACG Strathallan Year 7 and 8 dean, Clinton Thomas.
“They must be nurtured, as they’re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.” Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. “At ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,” he explains.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
