Macquarie Anglican Grammar School

In Week 1, Macquarie held its Year 7 2025 Orientation Days, Parent Information Night and Boarding Parents' Dinner. Year 7 Orientation was a fantastic way to introduce our new students and families to the school community, new routines and each other.

The orientation program, packed with icebreakers, tours and team-building exercises, was designed to ease any nerves and help everyone settle into their new environment.

Our orientation was held over two days with each day having a key focus. On Thursday the focus was getting to know each other and the Senior School. One of the biggest highlights of orientation was the opportunity for students to meet new people. For many, this meant getting to know peers from different primary schools, forging friendships that will likely last throughout their school years and beyond.

For many students, orientation was about learning where classes are located in the Senior School and getting to know Miss Dimmock and their future peers. But more importantly, it was about growing in confidence, feeling safe and supported at school and realising that starting Year 7 is an incredibly fun experience that comes with a range of new experiences.
