Welcome to the 8th Edition of the Ivy Voice!
We have graciously welcomed 2022, a new year filled with so much opportunity and hope after the tumultuous two years we have had as a school community.
It is evident that there has been an important constant in our lives that has allowed us to experience happiness, connection and optimism all this time. As such, this edition of The Ivy Voice is dedicated to Health and Wellbeing and our connectedness as a school with multiple campuses but united as one.
Health and Wellbeing is a subjective term, as it means different things to all of us. This edition focuses on celebrating the overall success of our school by promoting various clubs, co-curricular activities and the commitment to learning new things, especially under the leadership of the new School Captains and Prefects. Involvement in school activities and seeking the support of our student leaders are at the very heart of achieving health and wellbeing - being a balanced student and ensuring your time at school gives you a sense of fulfilment.
In this edition, please enjoy addresses from the Primary School Captains and informal Prefect profiles for you to meet your leaders. Learn about bibliotherapy and vaccines, then hear from the new Year 7s about their experiences in their first term of secondary school. Also included are the exciting events happening in the world of performing arts.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Garla and Ms Good for their ongoing advice and support to ensure The Ivy Voice is able to run smoothly.
Finally, thank you to our readers and student writers who are crucial for the success of The Ivy Voice. We are grateful for all the contributions and efforts that have culminated in this wonderful edition.
If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to email any of us :)
Enjoy this edition of The Ivy Voice!
