Well it is fantastic to report that we are ending Term 3 off on a great note. 

 

As we wave goodbye to many of the Year 12’s,  the Year 11’s have been working on an activities list with me for next term and it is looking great. We are certainly making the most of the weather warming up. Bike rides, swimming activities, bowling, hockey, movies and so much more!! We will try and leave some time for school work.

 

I have noticed an improvement in the students' behaviour in the dining hall, the way they respectfully interact with staff (including a beautiful letter of thanks to the cleaners) and the condition of the rooms. We have had positive feedback to the changes we have made in the catering and I am hoping to see those continue moving forward.

 

A gentle reminder to all students that black belts are part of the full school uniform and must be worn every time the school uniform is worn. We shall be focusing on Year 11 uniforms and presentation in Term 4 in preparation for being the excellent role models we know they will be 2022. Please use the holiday period to purchase any requirements such as belts. Please remember to polish shoes and to have appropriate haircuts for the start of Term 4.

 

Planning for next year is well underway in boarding, we are looking to partner with other boarding schools in activities and leaders' dinners. I am hoping to update a few of the student facilities including the rec hall lounge and the dormitory common rooms.
