Walt Disney once said ‘You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful ideas in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality’. This is certainly the case at Monivae College, and the challenges that COVID-19 and Remote Learning brought in 2020 could not have been overcome without a great deal of commitment and support from the staff, parents and students. 

 

I would particularly like to acknowledge the work of the Student Wellbeing Group and Student Services Department during this challenging year. Their tireless work, support and care, their perseverance and commitment to a myriad of academic and wellbeing issues was inspiring.

 

With the return from holidays in 2021, can I please remind parents and guardians of our policies regarding the following uniform items: jewellery (excess); summer dresses (length); and hair (length). These issues should be addressed prior to the commencement of formal classes .

 

Final Thought:

 

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ― 

Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness
