Message from Michele Marquet

Dear Parents,

We have been very busy! Last week, so many of the students in K-Y6 enjoyed a variety of activities during Games for Moh Day, superbly organised by Mr Holmsen and led beautifully by our Cranbrook Community Service representatives. In Year 4, students engaged in a fabulous immersive experience Terra Fabula, created and led by Mr Brett Rolfe and the Year 4 teachers. During Assembly, Year 5 reflected on the experience of our da Vinci Day and its benefits for students from Cranbrook and Ascham.

This week, Year 3 and Year 5 students and staff enjoyed a few wonderful days away at their camps located in the Blue Mountains and on Port Hacking, respectively, in fine and mild conditions. The opportunity to forge closer bonds and take part in a wide variety of outdoor experiences often creates wonderful memories for many of our students that they never forget. Enormous thanks to our staff who attended these camps, looking after the students and helping them to have a great time. Also, this week, the Junior School has been filled with the beautiful sounds of our students singing and creating music as the entire school has been busy preparing for our Showcase performances. Please see the detailed information in the Music section, so you know in which concert(s) your son is involved and details about those events and relevant rehearsals.

We were blessed with cloudy but relatively dry weather today for our very successful K-Y2 Athletics Carnival. Families enjoyed being on campus to see their sons who enthusiastically participated in a range of athletic skills, moving through 9 stations in class groupings. Thank you to our PDHPE Staff Team, James Roughan, Josh Cohen, Tommy Taylor and Lloyd Hardes for organising and managing today’s event with the wonderful support of the K-Y2 staff.

Families in Y3-Y6, please remember that there are no scheduled sports fixtures the weekend after next, on the Long Weekend (10 June).

A reminder to all our Junior School families that we are conditioned by Woollahra Council to NOT have our students dropped off or picked up by vehicle in Iluka or Elanora Streets, or in Manion Road. We frequently are contacted by our neighbours telling us some of our families are not following this rule. We ask you to please assist us to be a good neighbour and to not use this location in this way. Thank you so much for your help.

Kind wishes,

Michele Marquet
