Osmond

The year started off with some uncertainty as we grappled with understanding Covid-19 and the huge impact it had. Were we going to go back to school and resume our “normal” life or were we to be stuck in another year of online learning with parents having to be “teachers” whilst still managing their jobs? Fortunately, there was some reprieve as the numbers started decreasing and the possibility of returning to school looked certain.

With all the challenges that we encountered one thing was very apparent - that our boys missed school, and possibly even more, missed each other. There was some difficulty in trying to remind young men not to hug each other and to wear their masks properly, despite it being the norm. It was even comical sometimes to witness educators enforcing these new rules with young men who did not fully understanding the need for them. Finally, we managed to have a full presence on campus for Term 3 and with that came the biggest change to the College with the addition of four new houses. Initially, there was some uncertainty regarding the introduction of the new houses, but everyone acknowledged that it was done for the ultimate benefit of our boys. Mr Black and his family left us at the end of the year to explore the great opportunity offered to them in the UK, and we wish them all the best for this new chapter in their lives.

What we have gone through as a society, and as a school, is unlike anything previously experienced. My heartfelt gratitude and pride for every young man who made a success of himself despite all the challenges that were faced. Men, never forget where you come from and what you did. In my eyes, you are the true heroes of St David’s Marist Inanda!
