Students have had the opportunity to develop their strength, flexibility, balance, confidence and coordination I saw lots of smiles on the faces of our students as they returned from their gymnastic session this week!
I must continue to highlight the importance of getting your children to school on time each and every day. Being on time makes a huge difference for your child. As an adult, I can sometimes feel stressed if I am running late to meeting or an event. I feel calm and ready to embark on life's challenges when I have ample time to get to where I need to be and to do the things I need to do We have an opportunity to set our children up for success when we prioritise getting them to school on time. Set the alarm a little earlier, pack the lunches the night before, lay out the uniforms or whatever is required to get to school on time. Your children will benefit immensely.
I pray that God will continue to protect and guide your family. It is a such a blessing to be part of a community that loves God and others What a privilege it is for us to partner with you in educating such incredible young people
God bless you and your family,
Chris Drowley Director of Primary School Learning
