It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through Term 1. I want to take a moment to recognise the incredible support from both parents and teachers. It's inspiring to see everyone’s persistence in getting our children to class, even as we all feel the fatigue that comes with this time of year.

This is also a great opportunity to acknowledge the hard work our teachers do, and to remind ourselves of the importance of them disconnecting outside of work hours, just like in any other profession. On average, teachers make around 2000 decisions every single day — it’s no surprise they’re not keen to plan dinner too!

Just as our students need to be present and ready to learn, it’s equally vital for teachers to have time to reset. Teachers are encouraged to respond to emails during work hours, typically until 5:00 pm, when they often use this time to complete administrative tasks after the students have gone home.

We understand that communication from home may happen at various times, and we appreciate your understanding that teachers will respond as promptly as possible during their working hours.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our teachers stay focused and energized so that they can be the best for your children each day.

Congratulations to Benedict House!

A huge congratulations to Benedict House for winning our Interschool Swimming Carnival, held on Wednesday of Week 3. A big thank you to Mr. Smit and all the staff members who helped make the event run smoothly. We also appreciate the parents who volunteered their time and the family members who came out to support and cheer on the students during their races. Your involvement truly made the carnival a memorable experience for all!
