Year 7 Orientation

Mrs Cheyne —

For the first three days of their new Intermediate life, the Year 7 girls followed an Orientation programme.

As part of this, they completed their final ‘Columba entrance test’ – a scavenger hunt cum escape classroom, complete with padlocks, codes and many different group challenges. Fortunately, this resulted in everyone being awarded a Visa to stay at Columba! They also learnt their way around the school and began working alongside the other new members of their class as they completed the activities. On Wednesday, we had a picnic lunch on the Birdbath lawn, also involving a 'House Hat' competition. 

It was a great few days and the girls certainly were more relaxed and happier by Thursday than they were first thing on Tuesday morning!
