A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks

REBOOTING SPORT Our Active Afternoon sports programs are about to commence across the College for all students K-12. As previously advised, these afternoons for Junior, Middle and Senior School are designed around the directives approved by the National Cabinet for the rebooting of sport across the Country. In keeping with the current advice, our Active Afternoons begin at Level 1 for each activity as found in the AIS guidelines. There is great excitement as we prepare for rebooting and I hope that students have completed the necessary paperwork distributed over the past week. If students are still unclear on their options, please contact Mrs Nelson in the Junior and Middle School or Mr Gardner in the Senior School. Designing such an exciting program and structuring its implementation has been a group effort lead by Mr Justin Adams, Director of Co-curricular with the assistance of the Heads of Campus; Ms Leaf, Mr Jackman, the Sports Administrators; Mrs Nelson and Mr Gardner and the Head of Compliance and Excellence; Mr Jones. The new spaces within our timetabled day have been achieved by combining time which is allocated each week to activities that are currently not permissible. These weekly activities have involved the mass meetings of hundreds of students in weekly assembly, chapels and year meetings. Combine this with a shortening of lunch and the time for an Active Afternoon becomes mathematically possible. The challenge was to bring this time together as a block by modifying the existing academic timetable. Our special thanks to Mr Jones who has achieved this so quickly. Students should receive a slightly modified timetable shortly. I hope everyone enjoys getting back to some physical activity. continued page 2
