Welcome Kerry Oldman from

I’m excited to introduce you to another edition of our amazing Little Sister magazine, where you’ll find an array of incredible moments that our Junior School girls have experienced this year. What we all imagined 2020 looking like changed rather dramatically earlier this year, in a way that nobody could have expected. The way in which the girls adapted to StCuths@home and embraced their new learning platform with positivity was a lesson for us all on determination, openness, and growth. I am also proud of the Junior School teaching team, who continued to challenge the girls, by creatively making their learning a meaningful adventure. As you look through this magazine, you will see some of the wonderful adventures that took the girls from “room to zoom” and back again. I believe that a sense of belonging within the Junior School is a huge factor in the success and accomplishment the girls have felt during this time. Belonging is much more than merely fitting in – it’s about feeling cared for. It’s knowing that your teacher understands your talents and gives you the space needed to create magic with these talents; allowing them to complement the class as a whole. I am grateful to be part of a school, where we are committed to empowering the girls to be curious, to take risks, to problem solve and above all, to think differently. Ngā mihi
