May I extend a warm welcome to our new Christ Church families and a welcome back to our existing families. I am sure the break allowed for boys to spend valuable time with their families and enjoy essential rest in preparation for the academic year ahead.
Saturday’s new boys Orientation Day was a great success as boys and their parents met with their Heads of House and Tutors. We managed to avoid most of the heat and the event provided an important foundation to making a good start at Christ Church. We have continued the tradition of Week 1 for Year 7s being a “Transition Week”. This week is all about discovering the School, learning about their subjects, the roles people play, how to get around the school, providing time for play and developing their understanding about their device. The aim is to ensure next week they are ready to hit the ground running with a full week of academic classes.
During the early stages of the school year, it is very important to establish good communication links with Tutors and Heads of House. Our Parent/Tutor/Student Interviews for Years 7 to 12 on Monday 21 February (Week 4) will provide a formal opportunity for these meetings. In order to identify opportunities and set goals for 2022, I encourage parents of boys who were at the School last year to make the most of meeting with your son’s Tutor. The process of reflecting on last year’s school report and goal setting is very important for boys to grasp as they set about improving and achieving their personal best.
