Student wellbeing

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of Term 2, it seems like just a moment ago that we were returning from the first term break. Having said that, I know that this term has been challenging for many students and families. Many of you have been juggling a full schedule of school, sporting and family commitments whilst trying to recover from the various viruses that have been amongst us. I have been in absolute awe of the way that our students have handled what has been a challenging time. I hope that the upcoming term break provides each of you with some time to wind down, spend time with those you love and to have fun. If you are lucky enough to be travelling, safe travels. I look forward to working with you all again in term three.
