As we start to return to 'normal' we could possibly be feeling mixed emotions of excitement, trepidation, relief and joy. The past 9 weeks have opened our eyes on a number of levels, of which I am personally grateful.

Time definitely has a different meaning now; time wasted, time enjoyed and time to take a breath. I would like to take this 'moment in time' to thank all the staff, students and families for their patience, support and expressions of gratitude. I have been impressed beyond words. I tell my staff 'never apologise for loving the kids'. This is the same for me - 'never apologise for loving what you do'.

I am one lucky Principal.
