A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks
A very different and difficult year, but we have prevailed! As the year draws to a close we, as a College Community, have much to be thankful for and to celebrate. Despite the many restrictions imposed upon us since February, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the College has been able to maintain our operations for all our students. Here at Scots All Saints we took a very determined approach to the many threats which beset us. We committed to working with NSW Health to make our environment and procedures as safe as possible to protect everyone’s health and maintain the delivery of all courses to all students. In this regard, I believe we have been very successful. Our community has been coronavirus-free to date and our services have been ongoing. It has been a mighty effort on behalf of all members of staff to achieve this outcome. I commend the work of our cleaning and grounds staff who virtually doubled their work-load to ensure extra cleaning in classrooms, grounds, school buses and boarding houses. To the Boarding house staff who literally opened a whole new centre and relocated students in 48 hours! The catering staff made many changes to routines and systems, the clerical and administration staff managed communications and additional support to everyone, the IT staff ensured rapid technology upgrades to ensure remote learning was successful, the clinic staff who monitored everyone’s health and liaised daily with NSW Health, and our tremendous teaching staff that collectively remained focused on your children, who were agile and flexible, adapting to the unexpected changes which were made throughout the year. This is Scots All Saints at its best! If you get the chance at one of the different speech day events, take time to let our fantastic team know your appreciation.
