I would like to welcome into our community our exchange students visiting as part of our Beyond Queenslea Drive program. We currently have boys from St Christopher’s School (Richmond, Virginia), Saint Jean and La Croix (Saint Quentin, France) and Montgomery Bell Academy (Nashville, Tennessee). There is so much to be learned from exchanges for everyone involved.
Jupp House is our next group of Year 9 boys to participate in the On Queenslea Drive Program. I know the boys are looking forward to experiencing all that the program has to offer and living on campus for the next three weeks. We continue to receive great feedback from the boys and parents who have already been part of the program and I know of a few peer schools now looking to implement similar programs.
The mid-year exams are concluding for our senior boys and I hope that they have performed well. With the presentation of exam results shortly, the boys have the chance to improve and/or consolidate their academic performance in the crucial second semester. Whether the results are pleasing or disappointing, they will provide valuable feedback about progress so far this year and strategies for the second half of the year, should be based on these results.
At this time each year we call on you, our Christ Church community, to support our Annual Giving campaign. All money raised goes to giving the gift of education or creating spaces in which our boys can be creatively inspired by our wonderful staff. If you would like to give please go here.
Next Tuesday night we will be treated to some wonderful music when the annual Scholar’s Recital is held in the CLC. This is a tremendous night showcasing the musical talents of our boys and every year I am captivated by the talent and performances of the boys.
The Senior School boys are currently preparing for the Inter House Cross Country event which will be held next Friday 14 June at Kings Park. The event starts and finishes at May Drive Parkland and as in past years is a really great event, usually with fine weather and extraordinary performances from all boys. Please check the notices for each year group for more information on this event. I hope to see parents at Kings Park on the day, everyone is welcome to attend.
