Mr Sean O'Neill: Weekly Update 25/02/2022

Dear Parents, This week I have had the pleasure of speaking to every student in Years 7-12. We reflected on how special it is to come to school each day and how perhaps we all took for granted the privilege of being able to learn together in classrooms, labs and workshops - sports fields, drama and music rooms and enjoy each other ’s company at break and lunch. We focussed on some key ways to thrive in the weeks and months ahead to squeeze every drop of opportunity out of school life whilst showing respect and care for all in our community, in how we approach our learning, our use of campus spaces and in our relationships with others.

Education in its essence is about change, it is a slow process - evolution not revolution. But, every now and then it creates moments that serve as mileposts, as markers on our journey. This week, we had the opportunity for two such mileposts for our Year 7 students and our Year 12 students.

As we approach the Tet Holiday, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our families a safe and peaceful holiday. Mr Anthony’s video message yesterday reflected on the past two years, but more importantly stressed moving forward and all of the staff at the Early Years and Infant and Junior Campuses are very excited at the thought of welcoming all of our amazing families back to campus on Monday 14th February.

Dear Parents, As we approach the Lunar New Year, we bid farewell to the Year of the Buffalo, a symbol of persistence and determination. I am sure we can all agree that this has certainly been an apt representation of the qualities needed to navigate the past year. We now look forward to celebrating Tet with our families and welcoming in the Year of the Tiger.

Returning to School

As we approach the end of the term, preparations are underway for our first groups of students to return to school. Vaccination efforts have been continuing at a pace across the city and the country at large. We are now preparing to welcome students back on campus in the very near future. With this in mind, we need to begin preparing our community for making the transition back into face to face learning.
