From the Principal

Benvenuto - Welcome

Four weeks out from the end of the 2020 year, can you believe it? With all of the challenges and hurdles we are on the home stretch! Our transition sessions for our 2021 Foundation children have been occurring with great success; it has been wonderful to see these bright, independent, capable learners connecting with their peers. There will be a second round of these transition sessions held next week. For all other students new to the school (including students coming into Year 7) there will be some short sessions offered to groups of no more than 10 on December 8 and 14. The instructions for signing up to these events will be released shortly, so please watch the Facebook page and PAM for further details.

On Monday, December 7, staff will be engaging in a professional learning day. This is a student-free day. This day provides an opportunity for staff to plan for learning in 2021. We will be releasing some information in the coming weeks regarding what learning will look like at St Anne’s College for Year 9 and beyond. We have had an opportunity to share this with students and now look to share with the wider college community. As we are unable to hold a traditional face-to-face information night, this will be a virtual presentation with opportunities for the community to submit responses to the college. The link to this will come out on Facebook and PAM so please look out for it!

We will have many opportunities as a college in the coming weeks to reflect on and respond to the Advent story as we move out of Ordinary time in the liturgical calendar. I would encourage you all to take this time of reflection before we head into the busy season ahead. I hope that you all have a lovely weekend with your family and friends and find a moment to stop and reflect on the JOY of life.
