Good afternoon Parents, Grandparents and Children,

What a delight yesterday was! It was a good reminder that sometimes you are not fully aware of how much you have missed something until you get it back. Yesterday having children here and filling our school with joy and energy was an example of just that. 

What we have continued to learn over the past 6 weeks in a time of such uncertainty, is that agility, flexibility and adaptability are the new skills we must adopt.  We must appreciate that uncertainty and change demands a lot of energy and as parents you have all done a remarkable job with supporting your children through these times. On behalf of our team I would like to thank you for the good work you have done.

Over the past few weeks you can be forgiven for placing your attention to the things that you and your family may have missed out on, this is natural and normal. Once that disappointment fades, I would like to encourage you to reposition and turn your attention to the many great things that sit in front of us and can look forward to. Christmas and a Summer Break are only around the corner, but in addition to these occasions, remember to enjoy the smaller and sometimes finer pleasures that can often happen unplanned. As we build towards the end of the year and the events that surround it, I encourage you all to look for the many moments that make you smile, laugh and bring you purpose. They are there, you just need to be present with them.

Warm Regards

Geoff
