Welcome back to Term 3, which is looking to a busy and exciting, packed full of sport and activities. I would like to thank parents for their support as we seek to continue improving the standards of the boys’ presentation and I was glad to witness our Senior School boys wearing their uniform with pride on Tuesday as they returned from holidays. I am also sure the local businesses were happy for the extra patronage with an increase in demand for haircuts in the last week.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still present in our community and the concerns about the next strain have been a focus in leadership meetings in the last week. The issues of hygiene and wearing of masks have been highlighted with the school community as the best ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and influenza. We would appreciate your support in ensuring that your son continues to bring a mask or two every day because it must be worn on all public transport, school buses for sport and activities and House events. We are also encouraging boys to wear them at school, as a personal choice, to reduce the risks of catching a virus.
Parent/Student/Tutor interviews will be held this Monday evening. In anticipation of these interviews, I ask that all parents ensure that their son has read their Semester 1 report for the purposes of reflection. Your son has received information from their tutor in respect to the reflection process and the documentation to be completed on their NEXUS page. These interviews are also an opportunity to reflect on goals made at the beginning of the year and to discuss goals for the remainder of the year. Goal setting is an important tool for teenage boys to help them gain a sense of direction, motivation and focus.
The House Cross-country will take place tomorrow afternoon in Kings Park from 1.30pm to 3.00pm. All Years 7 to 9 boys and a select group of Years 10 to 12 boys will run. If you are able to support it would be great to see you there.
