From the Head of Junior School Seussical the Musical WOW – what a fantastic stage show the musical was. The students were amazing and really made the show something special. The costumes were bright and colourful and the children sang beautifully. I am continually amazed at how talented the children are. To be able to sing, dance, act and remember all of their cues is a real credit to them, their parents and their teachers. What was your favourite part of the Musical?
End of Semester One It’s hard to believe that we have just completed Semester 1. We say it every year, but hasn’t that time flown by so quickly. I have been really proud of the student’s efforts this semester and it was a pleasure to read the glowing comments that teachers wrote about them. The reports have been posted home and should arrive home before the end of the holidays. If you don’t receive your child’s report by the end of the holidays, please contact the College. Your child should have brought their portfolio home with them today. Please read this portfolio in conjunction with the reports to help get a picture of your child’s progress. Just a reminder that the 3 way conferences are coming up on the 24th July but if you have any questions about your child’s report, please make contact with your teacher and arrange a time to meet with them.
The students were of course the stars, but it is important to note the behind scenes work of Cilla Scott, Paul OG, Kim Reynolds, Mardi Frost, Ngaire Harman, Vicki Stehn, Paula
Holiday Break It is important for the children to take a break from the challenges of a busy school day and the school holidays provide a fantastic opportunity for the children to do that. It is important that the children spend time playing outside, riding their bikes, playing their musical instruments and generally taking a break. It is important that your children also spend some time each day reading a book. This helps to stimulate the mind and to also enjoy the wonderful adventure that comes from reading. I hope you and your family have a wonderful break and I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 15th July. Darrin Schumacher Deputy Principal/Head of Junior School
