Sports Day 2012
He ad o f S e c on d ary Me s s a g e No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted It is a constant source of surprise and joy at how busy a school we are. Once again, the month has been filled with numerous events, trips, visits and visitors, which only serve to enrich our days. Sports day was, once again, a terrific occasion with numerous feats of sporting endeavour as well as rapturous applause and cheering for the competitors. Our first ever Literary Festival was a huge success and the articles and the pictures contained within are testament to the fun, happiness and academic rigour that these days brought. It also reminds me that regardless of how busy our lives our, we should always remember the little things that
help make somebody else’s life happier. We can all do small random acts of kindness during our busy days which make a difference. We can be unfailingly polite to every single person that we meet. We can listen to someone’s problem without immediately comparing it to one of our own. In the canteen, we can offer to take someone else’s tray back with our own. We can pick up some litter – even if it’s not ours. Importantly, we can also smile at everyone we see. I love seeing these random acts of kindness here at school and no matter how small, they are never wasted.
