Transformation

You will never fit in.  And that's a wonderful thing.  And there's a very good reason why you'll never fit in.  There's no such thing as fitting in.  Objects fit in.  Lumps of concrete fit in holes.  Blocks of wood fit in containers.  Humans cannot fit in, unless they have reduced themselves to lumps and numbed themselves to life and adventure and the ever-present possibility of transformation.

 

What I have seen this year at Preshil is the wonderful transformations of each and every child.  Their unique individuality celebrated and enjoyed by the whole Preshil community, with endless possibilities to discover a love of learning and a joy for being with their friends and teachers.

 

We have enjoyed the last few weeks watching our caterpillars transform into butterflies.  We've enjoyed sharing stories about how different families celebrate the holiday season, and are looking forward to our party and magic show this week.

 

My sincere thanks to Talitha Crawford, who so effortlessly stepped into kinder this term.  Her expertise in the early years is outstanding and it has been so fantastic for the children and staff to have her with us.

 

I wish you all a wonderful and happy holiday season filled with relaxation and joyful possibilities of transformation.
