Last week, members of our Old Boys’ Association, Parents’ Association and School Council came together at the conclusion of their meetings. Chair of Council, Chris Stavrianou thanked all members for their contributions and time. I also wish to express my gratitude to the members for volunteering and making a positive contribution to our community. The members advocacy for the School and time given on a regular basis highlights their generosity and willingness to shape our community and ensure it remains a wonderful place for generations to come.
The interschool swimming last week was exceptional. The Preparatory School took out first place, with a 36 point lead over the other schools and all of the participants performed with great enthusiasm and skill. This is the fifth year in a row that the Preparatory School have taken out first position. Thanks to Will Greenwood, an outstanding coach, who has worked closely with the team. The PSA swimming for our Senior School students saw Christ Church come in second place, with the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie palpable on the night. It was an exceptional night for creating new records in the pool and all coaches and swimmers are to be congratulated. A list of records and achievements can be viewed here. With the swimming season concluding, we now turn our focus to Rowing, I extend an invitation to all parents and students to join us at Champion Lakes on Saturday 23 March for the Head of the River. This is always an exceptional morning with great rowing from all of our teams. Photos can be seen here.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Principal’s Bike Ride last Sunday. This event has been running for several years now and is always a really great way to start the day. This year we had 50 riders out enjoying the perfect Perth weather. You can see images from the event here.
Music at the School is outstanding and with more than a third of all students involved, be it singing or playing an instrument, Music events are popular with our community. This Saturday 16 March, we have Music to the Fore happening in the Chapel Forecourt, and if you are fond of Jazz, Rock, Pop or Funk, please come along and enjoy the open air and live music. You can find more details here.
