Junior School
Christmas Thoughts from Dr. Farrell ... Dear Parents and Children, As we come to the end of another extraordinary school term - I simply want to say a sincere and heartfelt “Thank You” to one and all for your kindness, support and understanding as we continue to live through this unprecedented time in history. This term has brought new challenges - with the continuing spread of the Corona Virus, with our girls and boys from Standard 3 to Standard 6 wearing face-masks in school, with no mixing of class bubbles, and with parents being asked to follow a complex set of guidelines and rules for close-contacts, positive cases and antigen testing. There is much to worry about - but, for me, coming into the Junior School each day is simply a joy and a blessing. There is nothing like the rhyme and rhythm of school life to keep us optimistic and hopeful – the sheer joy and happiness of the children as they work and play; the determination and dedication of our Junior School staff team as they work so hard to ensure that the children enjoy “normal” and happy school days; and the unstinting encouragement and goodwill of our parents in supporting all of our efforts, initiatives and new regimes. Together we can look forward to brighter days to come…. So Happy Christmas to all in our Junior School community and may you enjoy a wonderful festive season with you gorgeous children in the warmth of your homes. And, once again this year, in the gorgeous words of the poet Maya Angelou -
“Angels and mortals, Believers and non-believers, Look heavenward and let us speak the words aloud togetherChristmas Hope”
