Message from the Head of Upper School Dear Parents, Guardians, Students and Staff, We are delighted that at long last that we are able to publish a newsletter that in part features real live students in the school itself. What a difference it makes! The Year 11 and 12 students have the run of the building for themselves and have enjoyed greatly seeing old friends and their teachers. After a week of adjustment, this second pre-Easter week will see the students have to refocus on their studies as the summer term will be short, but intense with all sorts of activities and assessments waiting. Students in Years 7 to 10 are still working online, but we sincerely hope that they will be allowed back on May 10th. The twice weekly self-testing protocol adds a level of confidence and as long as the school community follows the guidelines and best practices then we should end the school year with a sense of normality returning. Before I sign off and allow you the chance to enjoy the newsletter at you leisure, there are a couple of other announcements to make. Firstly, the happy news that Mrs Kostika (Mathematics) and Dr Reiman (Science) yesterday evening celebrated the birth of their second daughter. Both mother and baby are doing well and we send them our congratulations and best wishes. And finally a reminder that this Friday is a full school day – as is traditional we reserve half days for the final day before Christmas and summer. I wish you all a pleasant week and will send Easter wishes closer to the time. With kind regards, Dr Bond Head of Upper School
