Dear Parents

As we come to the end of this term, it is with much gratitude in my heart that I write this week’s newsletter. This has not been an easy term for anyone, parents, students and teachers alike.  We have all had to adapt to a new type of “normal”, adjust our thinking and challenge ourselves in everything we attempted.

I hope you now understand what we mean when we say that ‘teaching is a calling’. I do not think there is any teacher who is in this profession for anything other than the love of children.  After all, our children are our future.  We nurture them so they may create a better tomorrow.

I salute every one of you parents. You have been challenged in this storm and have endured.  At times you might have felt fearful of the unknown, yet every day brings new hope.

I am reminded of a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

“I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.”

To every student, I wish you a wonderful time of rest during this holiday.  May the time spent with family be one of joy and laughter.

To my staff, I wish a time of rest and refreshment.  We will start the new term with renewed vigour and strength.

Stay safe and keep warm.

Regards
Edna
