Welcome

Welcome to AEON 15

It was the stop-start year, like waves coming into a beach and then retreating, then rolling in again. Just when we thought we were about to get back to normal at the start of Term 1, we were warned that another surge in COVID infections would peak in Week 4 and we needed to be cautious and keep events on hold. So we did.

The situation eased in the back end of the term and we returned to some normality. Then the same thing all happened again in Term 2. … then again in Term 3!

Finally at the end of 2022 we are back to something like a pre-COVID existence, and it seems like an emergence from the Ice Age. But despite all the restrictions and the changes, the school achieved a huge amount through the year and made up for the three years of COVID challenges.

AEON 15 chronicles the people, the students and the events of Glenaeon during 2022. There is a rich feast of all that makes Glenaeon the colourful and dynamic school community that we are.

As my last AEON, I remember well our very first. I look back on a wonderful journey that has been my privilege to enjoy with colleagues, parents, students and friends in sharing the story of our unique school.

The word aeon suggests eternity, and I like to think that behind all our educational work, there is a sense of the universal human spirit that exists beyond time, one of the essential elements of a meaningful life. 
