This Week’s Headlines
Dear Parents, At the end of the second week, things are beginning to fall into the natural warp and weft of the school year. Excitingly, 'normal' things are happening once more: we've had two away (away!) hockey tournaments, and our first major event of the school year took place as we welcomed both internal and external Year 11 girls to our Sixth Form Open Evening. The event was a huge success, helped immeasurably by our excellent Head Girl Team, Senior Prefects, Prefects and Sixth Form pupils; they were informative, lively and jovial, and are always the best advert for all the wonderful aspects of the Sixth Form at St T's. My thanks also to the staff who gave up their time to 'sell their wares' - with some good-natured competition springing up between departments! Gardening Club has also harvested the fruits of their labour, with some fine-looking carrots (one of which was proudly placed on my desk by the Head Girl Team - a particularly good specimen) and runner beans making their way to the kitchen for integration into Boarders' supper. Next week, the squashes and chillies will be gathered. Our full complement of extra-curricular activities is now in full swing; for an idea of what is on offer, please do check the school website under 'News and Events - calendar', and do encourage your daughters to take advantage of these amazing opportunities. One note of housekeeping: Mrs Du Preez Gale is unwell, so if you need to email Reception, particularly about absences or covid-related issues, please do so at info@st-teresas.com. We will be glad to assist you. On Monday, we launch the school's value of Character, which will be our focus for the year. A special assembly is being planned! I do hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes, Dr Claire McShane
