While the ‘big kids’ were away at the Years 7 – 12 Interhouse Swimming Carnival this week, the Year 5 girls enjoyed their Reflection Day.

The Year 5 Reflection Day is a chance for the girls to get to know the College and what it means to be a member of the College Community. Year 12 students, Sara Harcourt Smith and Emily Mascaro spoke to the girls about their experience at Santa Maria and the opportunities that have been available to them.

The girls explored different spaces around the school and as a special treat, enjoyed lunch in the staffroom. The day also gave the girls an opportunity  to get to know their friends better and to make new friends.

Here are some thoughts from the girls.
