We were delighted recently to welcome our 2023 Year 7 students to Preshil’s Blackhall Kalimna (BK) Campus; the home away from home for our Year 7 to 12 students and staff. This Meet the Teachers Event was a wonderful opportunity to meet and hear from the teachers who will be working with the Year 7 students in 2023.
We heard from Preshil’s Principal Josh Brody, the Head of Campus (Blackhall Kalimna) Karoline Kuti, the Year 7 Coordinator Katherine Girbau and all of our Year 7 teaching and subject specialists.
It was a fantastic evening full of curiosity and excitement, although some of us couldn’t keep awake! Pictured is Charlie the School Dog.
We make every effort to ensure that our students have everything they need to support a smooth transition to Year 7. Part of this involves a tailored transition and orientation program that is designed to gently ease our students into the rigour of Year 7.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) invigorates the teaching and learning culture in Years 7 to 10 at Preshil. Our students are engaged, physically active and supported by outstanding teachers who are committed to holistic learning and the success of each individual student. The School is well-structured, well-resourced and truly innovative.
We are proud of the program we have developed at Blackhall Kalimna and confident that it provides a thoughtful, contemporary and challenging approach to secondary education that is attracting considerable interest from the broader public and families beyond Preshil. They see the International Baccalaureate in a progressive setting as an outstanding preparation for their children to enter post-school destinations, confident they have the skills required to carve out their own versions of success.
